About Sonny's Crib [1987 Bonus Tracks]

Sonny's Crib is an album by jazz pianist Sonny Clark recorded for the Blue Note label. It features Donald Byrd, Curtis Fuller, John Coltrane, Paul Chambers, and Art Taylor. The first half of the album comprises three jazz standards, while the second half contains two original compositions by Clark. One writer has compared the album to Coltrane's Blue Train, recorded a fortnight later and which features Fuller and Chambers, as the epitome of the Blue Note sound in the late 1950s.  more »
