Victor Christensen Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 I have just received a new Sonny Clark reissiue from Amazon.Japan titled "LA Session 1956/57" on the Interplay Records, it is the SC part from an old old LP (Vantage) "The Pianoman" Hampton Hawes/Sonny Clark with Lighthouse All Stars, with an added track with Cannoball where SC is on piano, stay away from it unless you really want to get everything with SC (Like I do), it only contain 22 minutes of music, and the track with Cannonball takes 8 minutes of that, and that is in such a horriblle sound, can hardly hear what they are playing (The Way You Look Tonight). It is a real bummer and cost me a bundle. Vic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Ayers Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 That one joins the Pantheon of famous duds. We should start a thread. Since you know the SC discog. can you tell me what this one is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlhoots Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 That one joins the Pantheon of famous duds. We should start a thread. Since you know the SC discog. can you tell me what this one is? I have this Japanese mini-LP format (MYCJ 30104) of the original that was on Time. IMO it's excellent. 12 cuts (4 alternates), notes by Nat Hentoff. Recorded Jan. 1959.

jazzbo Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 That's a trio date for Time Records. From January 1959 with George Duvivier and Max Roach. Pretty damned good. Has been out domestically in several versions, and from Japan in several versions throiughout the years. If you can do SACD, look for the US SACD Hybrid version.

David Ayers Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Thanks! I'll look round for the SACD, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Thanks! I'll look round for the SACD, I think. That version sounds really good. I don't think that album is "essential", but if you're a Clark completest it's worth getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 I like Clark's treatments of his own tunes in trio format on this CD a lot better than the quintet versions on the Blue Notes! To me this is Clark's best album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceH Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Indeed, the Time Records trio album is very solid. Anyone who considers themselves a fan of Sonny Clark shouldn't hesitate to get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
