The Johnnie Pate Trio by The Johnnie Pate Trio Featuring Ronnell Bright, Charles Walton, released on Talisman in 1956.

John William Pate (born December 5, 1923) is an American former musician, a jazz bassist who became a producer, arranger, and leading figure in Chicago soul, pop, funk and rhythm and blues.

Pate served stints with Coleridge Davis and Stuff Smith in the 1940s,[1] before recording on Chess Records in 1951 with Eddie South and his Orchestra, credited on bass and arrangements. This was also the first of a series of Chess recordings on which Pate collaborated with saxophonist Eddie Johnson.[3] In the 1950s, he was also a resident arranger for Red Saunders' house band at the Club DeLisa. Pate`s arranging skills were greatly influenced by Quincy Jones, whom he was an "avowed disciple" of. - Wikipedia
