By far our best seller. Already in it's third pressing, this collection of songs written by Elgin Wells is a mixture of Jazz, Blues and Latin, with overtones of Rock and, of course, Elgin's trademark sense of humor.

A Digital, live recording of most-requested arrangements of "cover songs," written by other artists. Featuring performances by Doc Samuels and Tom Woodruff.

An all-instrumental collection of compositions inspired by nature. Dedicated to the memory of Elgin's Mother, Gerry Wells, each of these recordings has its basis in natural sounds: the rhythms of spring peepers and catydids, the rumble of thunder against the counterpoint of raindrops, or the call of Mourning Doves.

This street-wise blend of Swing, Funk, Rock and Jazz Fusion marks the beginning of the unique "Elgin Wells Sound."

Digitally recorded, live, at Checquers in Atlanta, featuring performances by Doc Samuels and Tom Woodruff. Containing a mixture of original and cover arrangements, this second of a two-album set captures the excitement of the Elgin Wells Group at it's late-80's best.

First of a two-album set, this live suite, recorded at Checquers, in Atlanta, features Tom Woodruff and Doc Samuels. The band turned the night club into a digital recording studio to document this phenomenal venue, which dominated the city's nightlife in the late 80's.

This concept album is all-instrumental, featuring alto sax. Funky and soulful, but heavily synthesized, these arrangements are a study in how to blend musical styles. From Do-Wop to Funk to Disco, the object was to bring together whatever makes you feel good, and keep on driving.

Elgin's second album, this is a highly eclectic collection of original music. Techno-Funk and Dance beats give way to soulful ballads, while Alvin Speights' bass track on "Novacaine" is definitive. Elgin's sense of humor unfolds in "Bad Things," while, at the other end of the spectum, "Mirage," still his best known composition, heralds later New Age works (see "Butterfly Dreams," above).

Recorded at Stone Mountain Music Studio in 1980, Elgin's first album marks his movement from Rock/Pop into a Jazz direction. The very danceable title song was written for his baby daughter, Laurel, whose voice can be heard in the intro. "You'll Never Know," a Samba, was the first Elgin Wells song to receive airplay, on WQXI's Jazz Flavours, in 1978, and Jamy's Tune and Dinah's Delight show an unmistakable swing toward Jazz.
