Johnny Lytle
Born:
Johnny Lytle (1932-1995) was one of the most promising young vibraphonists to emerge during the early 1960s. Influenced by Lionel Hampton and Milt Jackson, he had a particularly percussive approach and a distinctive brittle sound.
Lytle started out on drums, playing with his father’s band when he was only nine. He worked with Ray Charles in 1950 and with Gene Ammons’s band while also having a career as a Golden Gloves boxing champion. After switching to vibes in the mid-1950s, Lytle worked with Boots Johnson during 1955-1957. He led his own groups in various jazz clubs in the East and Mideast before he began to record. During 1960-1964 he led six albums for Jazzland and Riverside.
