In his long career Elvin Jones has played, in his unmistikable style, with many of the most famous soloists of all times, from Charlie Parker to Miles Davis, Charles Mingus, Sonny Rollins, Wayne Shorter, Freddie Hubbard and many others. His most well-known involvement is with John Coltrane's Quintet, from 1960 to 1966.
