Hard bop pianist Sonny Clark, blessed with an extraordinary rhythmic talent, was bursting with creativity when he hit his stride at Blue Note in 1957. Within three months, he had recorded three magnificent albums for the label with different all-star lineups. For “Sonny Clark Trio”, he had put together a mix of bebop classics and standards and borrowed the rhythm section from the then Miles Davis Quintet: bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Philly Joe Jones. The trio recorded a real gem, featuring famous bebop tunes and standards. The moving “Softly As In A Morning Sunrise” is particularly popular. The original recordings for Blue Note took place on October 13, 1957 at the Rudy Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey.
As part of the extremely popular “Blue Note 85th Anniversary Reissue Series”, Universal Music Japan presents the sonically impressive remastering of this jazz classic by the legendary Kevin Gray, who is also responsible for the analog reissues of Blue Note US such as “Tone Poet” and “Classic Vinyl” – as a limited-edition UHQCD.
