Sonny Clark: Sonny's Crib

Read "Sonny's Crib" reviewed by Reid Thompson


Sonny's Crib is a very pleasing recording from the sadly overlooked pianist Sonny Clark that works very well as a representative piece of the Blue Note catalogue at the time, framing all the characteristics that made that label so successful.

Sonny Clark: My Conception.

Read "My Conception." reviewed by John Sharpe

Many of his recordings with giants like Dexter Gordon, Sonny Rollins, Curtis Fuller among many others are considered classics of the hard bop genre. Unfortunately, this Bud Powell-influenced pianist suffered from drug and alcohol ...
