Extra-Infos: Rudy Van Gelder Serie
Description:This album deservedly acquired 'cult status' thanks perhaps to the blend of material and happy assurance of all the soloists. Art Farmer for example is melodic and tuneful on Cool Struttin' , helped by Sonny's sympathetic yet urgent chordal backing. The same applies to Jackie McLean, a loyal devotee of Charlie Parker but blessed with his own style. The pianist's solos have finger bustin' moments when the keys seem melded into one homogenous mass. But Sonny also displayed his expertise as a tasteful stylist with a unique approach much admired by Bill Evans. The musicians assembled for this session were produced by Blue Note Records supremo Alfred Lion, and would have been familiar to Clark, on this occasion cast in the role of Leader. Sonny was one of the Jazz label's house pianists called on to back the likes of John Coltrane, Kenny Burrell and Hank Mobley. - RUDY VAN GELDER SERIE

Cool Struttin' is an album by American jazz pianist Sonny Clark recorded on January 5, 1958. The New York Times called Cool Struttin' an "enduring hard-bop classic". Irecommend.

This is quintessential hard bop, and, I would argue, a classic "must-have" CD that rates in the same stratosphere as Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue".

Great and cool jazz. Unlike some of the other great albums of the day, the album feels a little faster than usual, with some great swing sets that really get you stomped to the beat. Recomended!
