Youngblood is an album by the jazz drummer Elvin Jones, recorded in 1992 and released on the Enja label.

[1][2] Trumpet player Nicholas Payton was just 19 years old during the recording sessions.

[4] The Philadelphia Inquirer, noting Jones's younger players, wrote: "If there were ever an argument for melding the wisdom of age with the impetuousness of youth, this is it.

"[7] The Gazette praised Joshua Redman, concluding: "In a remarkable solo turn on 'Angel Eyes', he wanders through the history of jazz both ancient and recent—and better yet, sounds quite at home in the present.

"[8] The AllMusic review noted the "consistently inspired playing from all of the musicians... An excellent effort".
