Sonny Clark was among the very finest jazz pianists working in the hard bop idiom.
He frequently recorded for Blue Note Records, serving as a sideman for many hard bop players, including Kenny Burrell, Donald Byrd, Paul Chambers, John Coltrane, Dexter Gordon, Art Farmer, Curtis Fuller, Grant Green, Philly Joe Jones, Clifford Jordan, Jackie McLean, Hank Mobley, Art Taylor and Wilbur Ware. He also recorded sessions with Charles Mingus, Sonny Rollins, Billie Holiday, Stanley Turrentine, and Lee Morgan.
As a band leader, Clark recorded eight albums including Dial „S” for Sonny (1957), Sonny’s Crib (1957), Sonny Clark Trio (1957), with Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones, and Cool Struttin’ (1958). Sonny Clark Trio, with George Duvivier and Max Roach was released in 1960. All these recordings are included on this intriguing compilation.
Clark died of a heart attack in New York City in January 1963 although commentators attribute the early death to his drug and alcohol abuse.
