Underrated trumpeter Johnny Coles recorded only one album for Blue Note. Released in 1963, Little Johnny C is a little-known treasure featuring Coles at the helm of a dynamic sextet that includes tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson, alto saxophonist Leo Wright, pianist Duke Pearson, bassist Bob Cranshaw, and drummers Walter Perkins and Pete La Roca. Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series is all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Optimal.
