  Recorded at the famed Jazz at Lincoln Center venue, jazz veteran Gerald Cannon's Live at Dizzy's Club: The Music of Elvin & McCoy honors two musical giants: McCoy Tyner and Elvin Jones, with whom the heralded bassist proudly played alongside for 14 years, and nine years respectively. Invoking the true essence of McCoy and Elvin, Cannon's vehicle features an outstanding ensemble of musicians who also shared the stage with these giants.
  Nothing says 'lineage' like a congruence of living legends paying homage to two of the great architects of the jazz artform. To tap into the immense spirit of Elvin Jones and McCoy Tyner is no simple task, and no one is more suited to lead such an ambitious outing than bassist Gerald Cannon. Cannon has McCoys adventurous harmonic ethos and Elvin's rhythmic invention spun into the very strands of his own musical DNA. The Music of Elvin & McCoy tells a story about Cannon's musical journey, chronicling his years with Elvin, McCoy and also the time that he spent with pianist Larry Willis in the Roy Hargrove Band. These mentors were revered by Cannon who acted as the common thread in their ensembles for many years.
  Over the course of two evenings, June 3 - 4, 2022, at New York City's iconic Dizzy's Club, audiences were treated to many moments of passion, grace and soul delivered by Cannon and his esteemed bandmates. Live at Dizzy's Club-The Music of Elvin & McCoy acts as a stellar document, not only of two swingin' evenings at Dizzys, but of the continued impact of masters Elin Jones, McCoy Tyner and Larry Willis on the jazz idiom. With his immense and singular voice on his instrument, Cannon is the living through-line to the sound of the masters, carrying the lineage of the artform forward into present day. ... more
