One of the finest pianists of the hard bop era, Sonny Clark left an indelible mark on the sound of Blue Note during his brief career from his 1957 debut to his superb final album, Leapin’ and Lopin’, recorded in 1961 with a quintet featuring trumpeter Tommy Turrentine, tenor saxophonist Charlie Rouse, bassist Butch Warren, and drummer Billy Higgins. This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is stereo, all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
