Elements is an American jazz fusion ensemble founded by bass guitarist Mark Egan and drummer Danny Gottlieb in 1982. Both Egan and Gottlieb were members of the Pat Metheny Group, and Elements's sound draws from their experience. Band members include Bill Evans, Gil Goldstein, Steve Khan and Clifford Carter.[1] Elements last appeared to be active in the mid 90s. Gottlieb and Egan continue to record music together (featuring a more traditional jazz style) using their own names rather than the Elements moniker as of 2019.
