Elvin Jones & Richard Davis Heavy Sounds: Verve by Request Series

Elvin Jones & Richard Davis' Heavy Sounds Newly Remastered from Original Analog Sources and Pressed on 180g Vinyl LP at Third Man Pressing in Detroit as Part of the Verve By Request Series.

Recorded for Impulse! in 1967, a session originally intended to be a trio date morphed into an 11 ½-minute duet on “Summertime” between drummer Jones and bassist Davis when the guitarist did not appear. The following day, saxophonist Frank Foster and pianist Billy Greene joined in to round out the rest of the cuts including “Elvin’s Guitar Blues,” which features Jones’ only recorded guitar performance. Verve By Request Series features 180-gram vinyl, pressed at Third Man in Detroit.
