Paul Kreibich - Thank You Elvin
In 1972 Elvin played and recorded at the world famous Lighthouse in Hermosa Beach, CA. Dave Liebman and Steve Grossman played Saxes and Gene Perla played bass along with Elvin on drums. It became an iconic recording in Jazz.
I attended the "Elvin Live at the Lighthouse" every night for 2 weeks and was greatly influenced and by the experience. I decided to do a recording with a similar band to express the inspiration.
We did the recording on Aug. 13, 2017, also live at the Lighthouse, with Doug Webb (ts), Jeff Elwood (ts, ss), Glen Cashman (ts), Chris Colangelo (b), and myself, Paul Kreibich (d).
