Description
A Blue Note catalog mainstay from it's debut in 1958, this was another early 12" originally released as "mono only." Now, transferred from the first-generation 2-track stereo masters, the quintet sound is wide-open and spacious. The phrase "all star" does not begin to describe this recording collective. Complimenting Clark's piano are Art Farmer on trumpet. Jackie McLean handling alto, and a rhythm section consisting of Paul Chambers on bass and Phily Joe Jones behind the drums.

Art Farmer, trumpet
Jackie McLean, alto sax
Sonny Clark, piano
Paul Chambers, bass

Recorded at the Van Gelder Studio, Hackensack, New Jerey on January 5, 1958. Originally released on Blue Note (81588).
Sonny Clark's classic COOL STRUTTIN' is a session that epitomizes the Blue Note golden era. A celebrated cast that includes Clark, Art Farmer, Jackie McLean, Paul Chambers, and Philly Joe Jones in their prime swings and struts its way through Clark's originals and some choice standards.
Bluesy swingers like Clark's smoky title cut and scorching burners like Miles Davis's "Sippin' at Bells" offer swinging grooves at opposing extremes that serve as vehicles for stellar solo spots by all. Intricate tunes like Clark's energetic "Blue Minor" and a blistering read of Rodgers and Hart's "Lover" are held in tight check by the consummate rhythm team of Chambers and Jones. The tracks also provide excellent breathing room for Farmer, McLean, and Clark to strut their stuff. The lone trio cut is the swinging "Deep Night," which showcases Clark's sharp technique and tasteful touch. In all, this is an essential disc for connoisseurs of the classic hard-bop period, a period that continues to inspire future generations.
