It was certainly a motley crew that came together with Elvin Jones, the legendary ex-Coltrane drummer, in the NYC Atlantic Studio in March 1966. His trumpeter brother Thad was first class, but Dollar Brand (Abdullah Ibrahim) on the piano, Don Moore on the bass and sax player Hank Mobley, who always came up as second choice behind John Coltrane, are a top noch group capable of reach unknown heights driven by the versatile Elvin Jones.
