Description:
"Dial 'S' For Sonny" is a classic jazz LP by the legendary pianist Sonny Clark, released on the iconic Blue Note label. This album, recorded in 1957, marks Clark's debut as a bandleader and showcases his exceptional talent for composition and improvisation. Featuring an all-star lineup including Art Farmer (trumpet), Curtis Fuller (trombone), Hank Mobley (tenor saxophone), Wilbur Ware (bass), and Louis Hayes (drums), the record delivers hard bop at its finest with tracks like "Bootin? It," "Sonny?s Mood," and the title piece. Blue Note Records, established in 1939, is renowned for its high-quality recordings and has been home to many of jazz?s greatest artists such as Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk, and Herbie Hancock. Sonny Clark himself became one of the most influential pianists of his era; despite his short life, he left behind a legacy celebrated by critics and musicians alike for albums like "Cool Struttin'" and this very release.
