Trumpeter Johnny Coles, a player best known for his associations with Gil Evans, the Charles Mingus Quintet, and Herbie Hancock's late 60s Sextet, led relatively few albums of his own. Recorded in 1963, Little Johnny C is universally recognized as Johnny Coles's finest recording. Cole's soulful trumpet is heard in superb form as he pushes the hard bop mainstream forward. Duke Pearson, a skilled pianist, as well as one of the top arrangers of the 1960s, contributes five very fresh originals to the set. With the superb title cut, So Sweet My Little Girl, and Jano being highlights, in addition to flute and alto solos contributed by Leo Wright and Joe Henderson on tenor sax, Little Johnny C is a masterful album by an artist at his creative peak. This is a set to be savored again and again. The Definitive Versions of Blue Note are on XRCD24... Listen & Compare! Plays on standard CD players.

A fine trumpeter with a distinctive cry, Johnny Coles long had the ability to say a lot with a few notes. He played with a few top R&B bands, including Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson (1948-1951), Bull Moose Jackson (1952), and Earl Bostic (1955-1956); was with James Moody's group (1956-1958); and appeared on several Gil Evans records between 1958-1964. Probably his most significant association was with the 1964 Charles Mingus Sextet that toured Europe. Also in the group were Eric Dolphy, Clifford Jordan, Jaki Byard, and Dannie Richmond. Coles can be seen holding his own against those giants on a European television show (available on a Shanachie video), but he had to leave the tour halfway through due to a sudden illness. He also played with Herbie Hancock's sextet (1968-1969), Ray Charles (1969-1971), Duke Ellington (1971-1974), Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers (briefly in 1976), Dameronia, Mingus Dynasty, and the Count Basie band when it was under Thad Jones' leadership (1985-1986), but fame managed to elude him. Coles led sessions through the years for Epic, Blue Note, Mainstream, and finally for Criss Cross, before passing away from cancer.
