Members

Elements was an American jazz fusion ensemble founded by bass guitarist Mark Egan and drummer Danny Gottlieb in 1982. Egan and Gottlieb were members of the Pat Metheny Group, and Elements' sound drew from their experience. Band members included Bill Evans, Gil Goldstein, Steve Khan and Clifford Carter.[1] Elements was apparently last active in the mid-1990s. In 2019, Gottlieb and Egan continued to record together (in a more-traditional jazz style) under their own names.
