Clark, Sonny

Blues In The Night

180 gram LP. Although Sonny Clark was just 31 years old when he passed away, he still managed to carve out his place in history as one of jazz musics top pianists. Blues In The Night, recorded in December 1958 for Blue Note, was a trio session featuring Sonny Clark on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Wes Landers on drums. Blues In The Night is an extremely rare LP that was shelved until 1979, when it finally released as part of the Japanese Blue Note series by King Records. It has since also been released on CD, but it has never been reissued on vinyl. The session finds the piano trio playing an array of standard tunes that were originally intended for release as jukebox singles. The final track, "Gee Baby, Aint I Good To You (alt. take)", recorded in November 1958, was taken from Sonny Clarks Art Of The Trio session, also recorded at the Van Gelder studio, and featuring Jymie Merritt instead of Paul Chambers on bass.
