Elvin Jones
Elvin Jones was a jazz drummer famed for his involvement with the John Coltrane
Quartet from 1960-1965, but also considered to be one of the all-time greats on
his instrument.
Jones was born in Pontiac, Michigan in 1927. His brothers, Thad and Hank, both
grew up to become jazz musicians and Elvin said that by the age of two he was
already becoming interested in the drums. Following his passion he played in his
school's black marching band and, following three years in the military, used
his mustering out pay and a loan from his sister to buy his first drum kit in
1949.
