Elvin Jones is best known as the drummer for the John Coltrane Quartet, where his innovative and powerful drumming style helped define the sound of modern jazz.

"Revival: Live at Pookie's Pub" showcases Jones' ability to lead a group and push the boundaries of jazz performance.
The album features Jones on drums, accompanied by Joe Farrell on tenor saxophone and flute, Billy Greene on piano, and Wilbur Little on bass. This quartet delivers a dynamic and engaging performance, with each musician contributing their unique voice to the ensemble. Farrell's saxophone playing is particularly noteworthy, as he matches Jones' energy and creativity with his own fiery improvisations. Greene's piano work is both lyrical and adventurous, while Little's bass provides a solid foundation for the group's explorations.
The setlist includes a mix of original compositions and jazz standards, all performed with a sense of urgency and spontaneity that can only come from a live setting. The recording quality is excellent, capturing the nuances of the performance and the atmosphere of the venue.
