The Sonny Clark Trio.......2005-04-17

Sonny Clark was the master of bop piano, behind Bud Powell of course. He was a soulful, master, and tasteful player. This is a soulful album!

The fast bop tune, 'Bebop' starts off the album. The song is a Dizzy Gillespie original. It's one of my favorite songs. The tune features a lengthy blues solo by Clark, as well as solos by Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones who finish off the trio.

The swinging three run through such tunes as 'I Didn't Know What Time It Was,' I'll Remember April, Tadd's Deligt,' and 'Softly as In A Morning Sunrise.'

The showcase for Philly Joe Jones, Two Bass Hit, written by John Lewis. The tune can also be heard on Miles Davis's Milestones, with Jones on drums also.

This was recorded a couple months before Clark's classic, Cool Struttin. The album basically took off from this album here. If you love 1950's bop, this album is for you. Not a bad note! Very enjoyable.

Five Stars.

Sonny is authoritative, an ideal piano trio album........2005-03-27

Sonny Clark was no joke in his time, despite the obvious similarity to the style of Bud Powell (who hasn't adapted some facet of Bud's style?), Sonny Clark's playing on this album belongs to nobody but himself. I should have bought this album a long while ago, I was unsure whether or not Sonny Clark would have a strong enough creative presence as a leader, but I was wrong to doubt it. This album swings hard (thanks to Mr P.C. and Philly Joe Jones of course), and Sonny's playing does indeed have the luminosity of an assured and authoritative jazz pianist and trio leader. His nonconventional rubato solo treatment of "I'll Remember April" is a demonstration of his own personal style of pianistic creativity and emotion. Philly Joe Jones treats us to double-time during clark's solo in "Softly..." which almost made me stamp my foot right through the floor.

A Great Introduction to Jazz, (and an Education).......2004-06-20

This album from 1957 excellently captures what was definitive of jazz at that time, and in so doing became one of the best jazz albums of all time. Sonny Clark never had as big a name as other prominent pianists of the day, but he deserves to be prominently remembered. His style on this album obviously echoes with the style of Bud Powell but (like the great Dave McKenna on his trio recordings from this same time period) his playing also brings with it a smooth lyricism that is new. Sonny Clark's playing on this album has the sound of beautiful perfection, and (along with the great work of Paul Chambers on bass and Philly Joe Jones on drums) the playing really swings. The tunes are all ones recorded many times by many others, but these renditions really set the standard for how these "standards" sound. "I Didn't Know What Time It Was" is particularly strong. This is a great album to introduce jazz to someone, and also is an essential study album for anyone seriously interested in the art form. I recommend it very highly.

Sonny as bopper.......2004-03-04

This is an interesting disc though rather untypical of Clark's Blue Note dates. One misses the tang of horns--Clark always sounded best with some other players to bounce off of, & his masterpieces remain _Leapin' & Lopin'_ with Rouse & Tommy Turrentine & _Cool Struttin'_ with McLean & Farmer--& it's a pity that the program is all bop warhorses rather than including any of Sonny's own compositions (he was one of the better hardbop tunesmiths of the period). Still, it's nice to get a chance to hear Sonny with the spotlight to himself, sounding a little more directly indebted to Bud & Horace than he does in other contexts but still unmistakably himself. He handles a blisteringly hot & fast "Be-Bop" without strain, but to hear Clark at his best you want the tracks at a slower pace, where his distinctive push-pull sense of swing & clipped articulation at the keyboard come fully into play: a nice "I Didn't Know What Time It Was", midtempo though played a little faster than usual; a relaxed, very inventive "Softly As in a Morning Sunrise"; & a nice surprise right at the end of the disc, a 5-minute unaccompanied piano solo, a ballad reading of "I'll Remember April".

Not quite the best sample of Clark's work, this is nonetheless a very nice disc, & essential listening if you're a fan of his work. Paul Chambers & Philly Joe Jones are, as you'd expect, entirely sympathetic partners.

Seriously good.......2004-02-19

This is just some downright seriously good piano/bass/drum trio work from bop pianist Sonny Clark. The trio sounds bigger than just three members as it's good bop for the most part. It kind of tails off a bit on the last two songs but still overall this is very good.

It's high-quality straight-up jazz. Recommended for piano & bop jazz fans.

People new to jazz may want to start with Sonny Clark's "Cool Struttin'" release first.

Good album, but don't start here.......2000-07-04

"Sonny Clark Trio" is a perfectly good album. In jazz, this is a power trio -- Clark, Paul Chambers on bass and Philly Joe on drums. But I have two problems that keep me from giving it a fifth star. First, the album features all standards, and Clark was one heck of a composer. We're talking about the man who wrote "Cool Struttin'," "Sonny's Crib," and "News for Lulu!" Second, Sonny was a fabulous player in a quintet or sextet setting, and had some serious players join him on his albums. John Coltrane, Donald Byrd and Curtis Fuller joined him on "Sonny's Crib," Jackie McLean and Art Farmer on "Cool Struttin'," and Tommy Turrentine, Charlie Rouse and Ike Quebec (on 1 track) on "Leapin' and Lopin'." It's nice to hear Clark tackle different material in a trio setting, but if you discover you love Sonny, buy this CD after you've gone through the above.
