Art Pepper With Sonny Clark Trio - Art Pepper With Sonny Clark Trio Vol 2

Review by Bubba Spell

Art Pepper With Sonny Clark Trio is a classic jazz album that showcases the musical brilliance of Art Pepper and the Sonny Clark Trio. Released in 1957, the album features nine tracks that demonstrate the technical mastery and improvisational skills of the musicians.

The album opens with "You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To," a Cole Porter classic that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Pepper's smooth and soulful saxophone playing is perfectly complemented by the rhythm section of Sonny Clark on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Philly Joe Jones on drums.

Other standout tracks on the album include "Bijou the Poodle," a bluesy number that allows Pepper to show off his virtuosity on the saxophone, and "What's New," a hauntingly beautiful ballad that showcases the sensitive and nuanced playing of the Sonny Clark Trio.

Summary by Bubba Spell

Art Pepper With Sonny Clark Trio is a must-have for any jazz fan. The album is a timeless masterpiece that captures the essence of the golden age of jazz and serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Art Pepper and the Sonny Clark Trio.
