The Main Force


The Main Force is a jazz album by drummer Elvin Jones recorded in 1976 and released on the Vanguard label.

Reception

The Allmusic review awarded the album 2½ stars stating "This inconsistent 1976 release from the mighty Elvin Jones is most successful when it draws on the high-energy, advanced hard bop style of the drummer's post-Coltrane period. It's a different story when it comes to the date's superfluous accommodations to fusion".
