The jacket keeps the original 84144 stereo cover design, and the lacquers carry Gray's Cohearent Audio mark in the runout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohnny Coles, a trumpeter born in Trenton, New Jersey in 1926, spent most of his career as a sought-after sideman, including a place in Charles Mingus's 1964 sextet alongside Eric Dolphy, Clifford Jordan, Jaki Byard and Dannie Richmond. He led few sessions of his own, and this is the only album he made for Blue Note.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlue Note's notes credit the record to Duke Pearson. Pearson heard Coles take a solo with the Gil Evans orchestra at Birdland and again as a featured soloist in James Moody's band, and the two began working together. When Alfred Lion caught one of their gigs and took to a Pearson tune called \"Little Johnny C,\" he gave Pearson the go-ahead to organize a Blue Note date with Coles as leader. Pearson arranged the program and wrote five of its six pieces; the sixth, \"Hobo Joe,\" is Joe Henderson's.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sextet recorded at Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, on July 18 and August 9, 1963, with Alfred Lion producing. Leo Wright plays alto saxophone and flute, Henderson tenor saxophone, Pearson piano and Bob Cranshaw bass. Walter Perkins drums on the first side and Pete La Roca on the second, so each side of the LP is one session. AllMusic's Scott Yanow gave the album 4.5 stars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLittle Johnny C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHobo Joe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJano\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Secret Passion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy Legs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSo Sweet My Little Girl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 602455041449\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue Note Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.21.23\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Blue Note Records","offers":[{"title":"NEW \/ NEW","offer_id":48229862965406,"sku":"EVP-4918E5E2-NEW-NEW-NONE0000","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/8801\/1422\/files\/LittleJohnnyCLP.png?v=1791172189","url":"https:\/\/evergreenvinyl.com\/products\/johnny-coles-little-johnny-c-blue-note-classic-vinyl-series","provider":"Evergreen Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
