Our Take

When you think of cool jazz, you think of the smooth sounds of Sonny Clark. His album "Cool Struttin'" is a classic in the genre, and for good reason. From the moment the needle drops on the record, you are transported to a smoky jazz club in the heart of New York City.

The opening track, "Cool Struttin'," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its infectious groove and slick piano riffs. Clark's piano playing is nothing short of flawless, effortlessly weaving in and out of the melodies with precision and finesse.

Tracks like "Blue Minor" and "Sippin' at Bells" showcase Clark's versatility as a pianist, effortlessly blending blues and bebop influences into his own unique style. The rhythm section, comprised of Paul Chambers on bass and Art Taylor on drums, provides the perfect foundation for Clark's virtuosic playing.

The real standout of the album, however, is the closing track "Deep Night." This hauntingly beautiful ballad is a showcase for Clark's emotional depth as a musician, leaving the listener spellbound with its melancholic beauty.

Overall, "Cool Struttin'" is a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast. Sonny Clark's talent and creativity shine through on every track, making this album a timeless classic that deserves a place in every music lover's collection. So grab a glass of bourbon, dim the lights, and let Sonny Clark take you on a journey through the cool, smoky world of jazz.
