Review by Scott Yanow
Trumpeter Johnny Coles, best-known for his association with Charles Mingus in 1964, made his recording debut as a leader on this Epic session which was reissued on CD in 1995 by Koch. A bop-based trumpeter with a lyrical sound of his own, Coles is showcased here with an excellent quartet (Kenny Drew or Randy Weston on piano, bassist Peck Morrison and drummer Charlie Persip). He is in top form on a pair of standards (including "If I Should Lose You"), his own blues "Room 3" and four Weston originals; the reissue adds an alternate take of "Hi-Fly" to the original program. A fine outing.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
El trompetista Johnny Coles, conocido sobre todo por su colaboración con Charles Mingus en 1964, debutó como líder en esta sesión de Epic, reeditada en CD en 1995 por Koch. Coles, un trompetista de estilo bop con un sonido lírico propio, se luce aquí con un excelente cuarteto (Kenny Drew o Randy Weston al piano, el bajista Peck Morrison y el baterista Charlie Persip). Está en plena forma en un par de estándares (entre ellos «If I Should Lose You»), su propio blues «Room 3» y cuatro temas originales de Weston; la reedición añade una toma alternativa de «Hi-Fly» al programa original. Una excelente actuación.
