Review by Michael Searles

The Elvin Jones Quartet's album Mr Thunder is a masterpiece of jazz music. The album features Elvin Jones on drums, George Coleman on tenor saxophone, Wilbur Little on bass, and Joe Farrell on alto saxophone. Each musician brings their unique style and energy to the album, creating a sound that is both powerful and intricate.

From the opening track, "Mr. Jones," the quartet sets the tone for the album with a driving rhythm and tight harmonies. The album's title track, "Mr. Thunder," showcases Jones' incredible drumming skills, with intricate fills and thunderous rolls that keep the listener engaged.

Other standout tracks on the album include "Reza," a Latin-inspired tune with a catchy melody and lively percussion, and "Gingerbread Boy," a classic jazz standard that the quartet infuses with their own unique style.
