Elvin!
1962 studio album by Elvin Jones

Reception
The Allmusic review stated "straight-ahead with a strong Count Basie feel. Jones is still recognizable on the fairly obscure material (only "You Are Too Beautiful" qualifies as a standard) and shows that he can cook in the fairly conventional setting. All of the musicians are in fine form" and awarded the album 3½ stars.[ 3]
