Dial "S" for Sonny
,
Sonny Clark's
first session for Blue Note Records and his first session as a leader, is a terrific set of laidback bop, highlighted by
Clark's
liquid, swinging solos.
Clark
leads a first-rate group --
Art Farmer
(trumpet),
Curtis Fuller
(trombone),
Hank Mobley
(tenor sax),
Wilbur Ware
(bass),
Louis Hayes
(drums) -- through four originals and two standards, balancing the selections between swinging bop and reflective ballads. There are traces of
Bud Powell
in
style, but he's beginning to come into his own, developing a style that's alternately edgy and charmingly relaxed.
Mobley
Farmer
and
Fuller
have their moments, but
steals the show in this set of fine, straight-ahead bop. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
