Elvin Jones Trio, Featuring Jimmy Garrison: Sweet Little Maia (1968)
I don’t watch much TV, but I would if it was more like this 1968 clip from the Danish show Jazz Omkring Midnat.
The Elvin Jones Trio, consisting of drummer Elvin Jones, bassist Jimmy Garrison and saxophonist Joe Farrel plays the tune “Sweet Little Maia.”
The trio gets to really stretch out since there isn’t a chordal instrument, and Garrison really plays his heart out during his solo.
In his time with No Treble, Kevin has met hundreds of amazing bassists and interviewed icons like Jack Casady, Victor Wooten, Les Claypool, Marcus Miller, and more. He's a gigging bassist performing jazz in Northern Virginia and bluegrass with The Plate Scrapers up and down the East Coast. Kevin appreciates all genres of music, from R&B to metal and everything in between. Connect with Kevin on Facebook and check his performance schedule on his website.
Extremely difficult to do…Good job.
I LOVE JAZZ-Trios: This is one of my Favorite I remember SONNY ROLLINS Trio, with WILBURE WARE and ELVIN JONES in a wonderful “SOFTLY As In A MORNING SUNRISE” [Live @ Village Vanguard] Ciao ;-) mm65
Awesome Solo! He seems to have Fingers made of Steel!
Wow! I follow Farrell’s 70s stuff with Stanley Clarke… but this is some great sick shit! Makes one wonder — why we in US don’t give respect to our genius jazz players…
