John McLaughlin - Epinay-sur-Seine 1996

Here's today's offering (also on dime), a fine show by McLaughlin with Elvin Jones and Joey De Francesco - quite a trio, huh? Another one by the Free Spirits trio (with Dennis Chambers on the drum chair) will eventually follow, but needs some editing work to be done first.
Elvin Jones was part of a couple of earlier shows shared here:
Elvin Jones - Boston 1973
Freddie Hubbard/McCoy Tyner/Elvin Jones - Berlin 1987

Next up in the "great drummers" series will be a Billy Higgins show with Harold Land and Oscar Brashear! But for now, enjoy some swinging Elvin with some malty guitar and spaghetti organ, he he (after the sweets and coffee, you'll get a limonello on the house, yuck yuck - rather bring me a bottle of Talisker!)

And here's the previously posted solo show of McLaughlin's.

i recently heard a live recording of mclaughlin with francesco. can't remember where. francesco's bass was way heavy when mclaughlin was soloing, then dropped to a reasonable level when francesco was soloing himself. pretty insensitive. going to check this regardless.

much gratitude

Fortunately, McL goes easy on the pitch-bending effect that ruined the studio album. Thanks, Ubu!
