Produced by Bob Thiele, it features Charlie Mariano, Roland Hanna, Hank Jones, Richard Davis, and Jones, balancing fresh interpretations of standards with works by Charles Mingus, Duke Ellington, and Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie. The title track pays tribute to John Coltrane, Jones's legendary collaborator, and captures the broad, exploratory vision that defined his early recordings as a bandleader. Verve Acoustic Sounds Series titles are mastered from the original analog tapes by Matthew Lutthans, pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings (QRP) and packaged in high-quality tip-on gatefold jackets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack listing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eDear John C\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eSmoke Rings\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eLove Bird\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eFeeling Good\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eAnthropology\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eThis Love of Mine\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eFantazm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eBallade\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eEverything Happens to Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Waiting Room Records","offers":[{"title":"180g LP","offer_id":45413673566323,"sku":null,"price":40.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0082\/4315\/0908\/files\/91I1V9hs5bL._SL1500.jpg?v=1787867448","url":"https:\/\/waitingroomrecords.com\/products\/elvin-jones-dear-john-c-verve-acoustic-sounds-series","provider":"Waiting Room Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
