Elvin! is a jazz album by drummer Elvin Jones recorded in 1961 and 1962 and released on the Riverside label.
The Allmusic review stated "straight-ahead with a strong Count Basie feel. Jones is still recognizable on the fairly obscure material (only "You Are Too Beautiful" qualifies as a standard) and shows that he can cook in the fairly conventional setting. All of the musicians are in fine form" and awarded the album 3½ stars.
