Thank you so much for these cherished biographies on some of the jazz world's most gifted and, for some, overlooked musicians. This is such an important platform for their intriguing stories. I appreciate and look forward to each one ( I really enjoyed the profile that you shared on Mr. Eric Dolphy)! Thank you for this illuminating segment. He was certainly deserving of wider recognition, as is the case for many of jazz's heroes and heroines. Blessings to you and all. Rest in heavenly peace, Mr. Sonny Clark.🙏🏿🎹
Thanks, Robert, for filling me in on a favorite artist who’d always been a mystery. What the purveyors of heroin did to the black & jazz communities was SO f-ng evil! A couple of my all-time favorites are Speak Low on Sonny’s Crib and Cheese Cake on Go.
He was soulful and a beautiful pianist. Warmth and an atmosphere that surrounded the tune. Check out Leapin' and Lopin', a 1961 Blue Note with a great front line comprising Tommy Turrentine and Charlie Rouse, with a sublime rendition of Deep in a Dream, in 4tet with Ike Quebec on tenor. Billy Higgins, the magician, on drums of course, and wonderfully rhythmic and melodic compositions. For me one of the most beautifully sounding recordings of any era and his best.
He was a real treasure. I first heard him playing with Grant Green & amazed by what he did on the keyboard. I have since collected his Blue Note albums & they're some of My favorites.
Great video. Sonny’s contribution to the world of music is sadly overlooked. Just a few of the albums that Sonny contributed to that were not mentioned in this video: Dexter Gordon’s A Swingin’ Affair Grant Green’s Nigeria Jackie McLean’s A Fickle Sonance Lee Morgan’s Candy Lou Donaldson’s Lou Takes Off Louis Smith’s Smithville Johnny Griffin’s The Congregation I’ve an iTunes playlist of Sonny as a leader and sideman that is over 27 hours long.
Sonny Clark's bluenote recoding are some of the best in the whole catalog!

Barely a minute goes by on this without loud jarring ads. BAH!
❤
I can honestly say that i have never heard of the man until now. Thank you.
I liked it, as I do all your profiles, but was it really necessary to lead off with his death and addiction?
sorry but that was his life
What's the background tune ???
I was wondering this as well.
I get asked that all the time. ruclips.net/video/yYdgXiZTm0k/видео.html
It's on this video, share it if you like, thanks ruclips.net/video/yYdgXiZTm0k/видео.html
Sad Sad Sad. Such a waste!
