I heard something vice versa, Bud sounding like Sonny Clark ! Listen to "The Scene Changes".... you hear a lot of Sonny Clark influence on it, 
About Sonny Clark himself, I like most his albums with horns like "Cool Struttin´" which is magic, THE hard bop album. And I heard it after I had heard "Scene Changes" and was astonished that Clark sounds like Bud on "Scene Changes". 
I think this was mutual influence. Clark was influenced by Bud, developed a more simple hard bop style and then Bud borrowed some of Clark´s ideas. 
Like in the case of Dexter influencing young Trane, and later Dexter borrowed some of Trane´s stuff, like the version of Body and Soul.....
