Dear John C. Elvin Jones featuring performances recorded in 1965 for theImpulse! label.[ 2] John Coltrane .The album was also released onSACD .It features Jones leading a quartet of alto saxophonistCharlie Mariano ,pianistRoland Hanna and bassistRichard Davis .
TheAllmusic review by Michael G. Nastos awarded the album 4 stars stating "The variety from cut to cut is engaging, and there's nothing over the top, even the drumming of Elvin Jones. With the musicality at a high level,Dear John C. needs revisiting by drumming students and jazz fans to note how teamwork, shared values, and held-in-check dynamics benefit the overall quality of music. It seems this recording is underrated when over time it should never be.Dear John C. is deserving of an excellent rating ".[ 3]
