About
Sonny Clark contributes four choruses on piano, the third of 4 solos on the recording. Taken at a medium swing tempo of 115 BPM over the 12-bar blues in B♭, the improvisation proceeds with patient, unhurried deliberation. Sonny Clark delivers four piano choruses that blend bebop sophistication with genuine blues feeling, his two-fisted approach to the keyboard particularly effective in this down-home context. Recorded for the album Cliff Craft in 1957, the performance captures Sonny Clark at 25 to 26 years old. "Soul-Lo Blues" is a blues-based hard bop composition by tenor saxophonist Clifford Jordan, first recorded for his 1957 Blue Note album Cliff Craft.
Sonny Clark was 25 to 26 years old at the time.
