I was the last Bassist to play with Elvin Jones, i was with the jazz machine for about 7 years and i thought i knew how to play the bass before i played with Elvin .I was wrong i learned more about dynamics time groove and melody from Elvin than any band i had ever played with before him . I really learned to trust my self and my time with him he was a great man i miss him dearly . God Bless Elvin Jones
