Our Take

Sonny Clark's "Dial S For Sonny" is a jazz odyssey that begs the question: why use a phone when you can just listen to this album instead? The late pianist is no stranger to the genre, and his latest release only solidifies his status as a jazz mastermind.

From the opening notes of "Love Walked In," it's clear that Clark is here to take listeners on a wild ride through his musical mind. The funky grooves and smooth melodies are a testament to his skill as a pianist, with each track showcasing his ability to blend classic jazz with modern flair.

Tracks like "Bootin' It" and "I'll Remember April" show Clark's versatility as a musician, effortlessly switching between tempos and styles without missing a beat. His bandmates, including trumpet player Art Farmer and saxophonist Jackie McLean, only add to the magic of this album, creating a sonic landscape that is both complex and accessible.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on "Dial S For Sonny." The haunting ballad "My Conception" is a stark reminder of Clark's ability to evoke emotion with his music, while the frenetic energy of "Tadd's Delight" will have you tapping your toes until the very end.

Overall, "Dial S For Sonny" is a jazz masterpiece that proves Sonny Clark is a force to be reckoned with in the industry. So ditch the phone, grab some headphones, and let yourself be swept away by the magical sounds of this album. Trust us, you won't regret it.
