One of many many great Trane albums featuring Elvin Jones on the drums.

Though as far as covers go, the Dead's version (sung by Pigpen) is miles and miles ahead of the Crowes' version.
But, seriously Redding wrote it didn't he?No dude, it's a Grateful Dead song.

Yes, Redding wrote it along with Al Bell and Allen Jones, and Otis recorded the first version of it, which was released shortly after his death.
Kings Blend - The Kottonmouth Kings
Bill Frisell with Dave Holland and Elvin Jones

Very nice!
NP: Goodbye Lament ~ Dave Grohl; Tony Iommi
Momma told me there would be DAYS like this. SHe is coming back around, though...to put things back the way they should be. HIS story? Nah...we've had enough of that.
So Far Away - Dire Straits
you're solid gold // i'll see you in hell
Indeed it is. A tremendously good album by three exceptional musicians. By far one of my favorites in Frisell's vast catalog of great albums. I'd have bought it anyway because it's Frisell, but I was intrigued by his choice of Holland and Jones as rhythm section, and it did not disappoint in the least. Alas, Elvin is gone, but I do wish Frisell would bring in Dave Holland again at some point for another session.Very nice!
And the album cover is pretty f'n sweet as well.
Machismo - Gomez
you're solid gold // i'll see you in hell
And now the final album in my afternoon tribute to Elvin Jones...

The line-up on this album is an all-star affair for sure.

Ron Carter - bass
Elvin Jones - drums
"It's HERBIE Hancock!"
Anyway...
Superunknown - Soundgarden
