Cool Struttin’ – Sonny Clark – Audio CD – Pre Owned CDs (Arrives in 14days)

Released in 1958, ‘Cool Struttin” is more than a Blue Note classic—it’s a snapshot of hard bop at its most stylish and urbane. Sonny Clark’s piano leads an all-star lineup through a set that feels effortless yet brimming with subtle invention. Art Farmer’s crisp trumpet and Jackie McLean’s sly alto saxophone complement Clark’s nimble touch, while Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones keep the rhythm unerringly supple. What sets this album apart is its sense of space and swing; each solo feels conversational, never showy, and the interplay between the musicians is an education in jazz chemistry. The title track has become a rite of passage for jazz aficionados, its strutting groove both infectious and coolly sophisticated. For those building a serious vinyl collection, ‘Cool Struttin” isn’t just essential—it’s a record that reveals new details with every spin, a slice of late-50s New York imbued with nocturnal charm and crisp, unhurried energy. Whether you’re a seasoned jazz head or a newcomer curious about hard bop’s golden era, this album is a cornerstone, both musically rewarding and historically vital.
