While the first 16 titles of the series focused on the best-known Blue Note classics from the 1950s and 60s, the new run of titles curated by Don Was and Cem Kurosman broadens its scope to span the many eras and styles of the legendary label's eight-decade history presented by themes: Bebop, Hard Bop, Soul Jazz, Post-Bop, Avant-Garde, The 70s, The Rebirth, and Hidden Gems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOne of the finest pianists and composers of the hard bop era,\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Sonny Clark\u003c\/strong\u003e seemed to arrive fully formed on his supremely swinging debut album \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDial \"S\" for Sonny\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e recorded for Blue Note in 1957. Clark assembled a top-flight sextet for the occasion with Art Farmer on trumpet, Curtis Fuller on trombone, Hank Mobley on tenor saxophone, Wilbur Ware on bass, and Louis Hayes on drums. Clark penned four of the album's six tunes including the moody, minor title piece, the bright, fleet-footed \"Bootin' It,\" the feel-good theme \"Sonny's Mood,\" and the sprightly swinger \"Shoutin' on a Riff.\" \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRounding out the set are two standards: a stunning ballad performance of \"It Could Happen To You\" with Farmer delivering the opening theme and Fuller closing the piece, both with their warm, full-bodied tones, and the Gershwin tune \"Love Walked In\" which is a showpiece for Clark who opens with a solo intro before being joined by bass and drums for a trio performance that let's his inventive style shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMusicians\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSonny Clark, piano\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArt Farmer, trumpet\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCurtis Fuller, trombone\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHank Mobley, tenor saxophone\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWilbur Ware, bass\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLouis Hayes, drums\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• Blue Note Classic Vinyl Reissue Series\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• All analog 180g vinyl LP\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• Mastered by Kevin Gray directly from the original master tapes\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• Manufactured at Optimal in Germany\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• Standard packaging\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UMG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56666542113100,"sku":"602445352104","price":5.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/2913\/4412\/files\/LDC52104.jpg?v=1770373307","url":"https:\/\/vinylpulses.com\/products\/pre-order-sonny-clark-dial-s-for-sonny-blue-note-classic-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
