Cool Struttin' [Original recording remastered]

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
1957 was a busy year for the pianist Sonny Clark. Aside from Cool Struttin', he also released six other LPs on Blue Note. His astounding output, however, was cut short due to his premature death in 1963. The highlight of Clark's prolific period must be Cool Struttin', a session featuring a virtual who's who of Blue Note's then-rising young crop of hard-bop stars. The recording opens with the aptly named title cut, as Clark's jaunty, forward-leaning piano drives the tune with crisp precision. The rest of the disc (this edition contains the Rodgers and Hart tune "Lover," which did not appear on the original release) is a sterling example of late-50s, finger-poppin' bop with the likes of trumpeter Art Farmer, saxophonist Jackie McClean, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Philly Joe Jones stretching out and digging in. --S. Duda

Product Description
Sonny Clark was ubiquitous at Blue Note sessions and led a handful of great albums of his own along the way. Cool Struttin' has a wonderful after-hours feel, especially on the extended title blues.

5 out of 5 stars A Blue Note - Hard Bop Classic.......2007-05-21

One day (about five years ago) I was cruising along in my car searching for something, ANYTHING, that was semi-pleasing to listen to on my car stereo. However, I was having one hell of a time finding anything decent - for it seems as if even the world of music nowadays is riddled with pollution. Alas, just as I was about to throw in the towel and settle for talk radio on AM (UGH!!! like that is any better!) I hear this jazz tune come on "Cool Struttin" and it was at that moment, because of that particular song, my love affair with jazz truly began. This album, along with about ten others (KIND OF BLUE - Miles Davis, MY FAVORITE THINGS - John Coltrane, SONG FOR MY FATHER - Horace Silver, SOMETHIN' ELSE - Cannonball Adderley etc...) was one of the first jazz albums I went out and purchased. Now of course "Cool Struttin" may not quite fall into the same category as the ones I listed above, but it's definitely, in my humble opinion, one notch right below them and still easily worthy of a five-star rating. It's recordings such as this that make me want to listen to jazz music twenty-four hours a day.

Most jazz fanatics out there probably already own this Blue Note classic. Therefore, this review is aimed more for the novice jazz fan or perhaps someone (such as I five years ago) just learning about jazz after perhaps hearing it on the radio or satellite television. Well, all I can say is you can't go wrong making this purchase! First off, you have an all-star quintet led by the smooth as silk Sonny Clark (piano), joined by Art Farmer (trumpet), Jackie McClean (alto sax), Paul Chambers (bass), and Philly Joe Jones (drums). Despite the fact that most of these cats were blasted on drugs (particularly heroin) and booze at the time, they still turned in tremendous, top-notch performances. McClean does his best Charlie Parker imitation, squawking away his solos with reckless abandon and absolutely no fear. Like Art Farmer was quoted as saying in Nat Hentoff's original liner-notes, "Jackie has a feeling in his playing that you know immediately is him. He doesn't just copy." Yes, there is no doubt McClean has is own unique, original voice and this album is one of the prime examples of that. It is also, one of his best performances ever (see SWING, SWANG, SWINGIN and ONE STEP BEYOND for two more examples).

Art Farmer may not always be talked about in the same breath as others when one is mentioning the greatest trumpet players of all-time (i.e. Louis, Dizzy, Miles, Brownie, Freddie, Lee Morgan, et al...) but he definitely is worthy of praise. I don't know if I have ever heard Art Farmer not sound great. Sure he may lack the charisma and magnetism of a Miles Davis (his main influence as a musician), but I personally love his clean, controlled, consistent style. Sonny Clark on the keys has always been one of my favorites because in many ways he is the quintessential hard bop pianist (which is my personal favorite style of jazz). By the way, does anyone else think that Clark and Tommy Flanagan are the same person at times? The way they swing, their perfect control of melody, and the way they seem to glide across the keys with a soft, unique touch. Simply sensational!

Finally, there is no amount of hyperbole I can write about Philly Joe Jones and Paul Chambers that would ever do them justice. I have never read about any other drummer in the history of jazz (Rich, Roach, Blakey, Tony Williams, Elvin Jones, etc...) that gets more compliments from his fellow musicians than Philly Joe Jones. My favorite quote was by Miles in his autobiography, "...he (Jones) knew everything I was going to do, everything I was going to play; he anticipated me, felt what I was thinking." And Paul Chambers is simply one of the top three bass players of all-time on just about every one's list, especially when it comes to hard-bop. The two of them are outstanding.

In 1963, at the early age of 31, Sonny Clark left this Earth way too soon like so many other jazz legends - Billie, Bird, Brownie, Coltrane, Jaco, LaFaro, Pettiford, Watkins, Powell, et al... I have to stop now, because I am getting depressed. However, all I have to do to start feeling good is press the play button on my stereo and once again start listening to this sensational, five-star recording.

This is one of the longest reviews I've ever written. But after all, it was that one song from this great album, that truly changed my life forever.

5 out of 5 stars Love this album.......2005-11-01

Sonny is very cool and plays tasty straight ahead jazz throughout this date. He is brilliantly supported by the rythym section of Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones. The chemistry and tonal quality of the horns is something special. The title track is a well recognised classic but "Blue Minor" is equally up there.

This is a bebop gem! Thanks to RVG for including the awesome bonus tracks.

5 out of 5 stars Great straight-ahead Hardbop.......2005-06-11

Sonny Clark, despite his exceptionally fluid stlye of playing, lead an odd life. It seems that from his playing you would think he was a happy man who was healthy and stayed away from drugs. Not so, he was a big heroin addict who spent long amounts of time away from the recording studio. He died at a mere 32 in a car accident which has become the fate of many other incredible musicians including Clifford brown and Ritchie Powell(Buds Brother) in the same accident, three great bassists including Scott LaFaro, Oscar Pettiford, and Doug Watkins. Aside from Clarks unfortunate life, he produced some very fine recordings with the top musicians of the time. On bass is Paul Chambers along with Philly Joe Jones on drums who were the backbone of Miles Davis' early quintet. Clark on piano, Art Farmer on Trumpet, and Jackie Mclean on Alto Sax. Mclean, who is known for his raw sharp alto playing is in an earlier stage and is much more mellow and fluid. Art farmer has a quieter more subdued sound yet produces some very interesting intervals. Clark is the ultimate treat, his light touch and very fluid and fast style reflects the influence of bud powell as well as earlier masters like Fats Waller and Art Tatum.

The opening title track is a funky and heavy swingin blues with a strong unison sound produced by Mclean and Farmer. Clark, Farmer, Mclean, and Chambers all solo like a log on the fire, slow burning. "Blue Minor" is obviously a minor keyed tune with extended solos that are simple but meaningful.
"Sippin" at the bell is a be-bop tune with a very melodically and Harmonically interesting tune. Jackie somewhat takes the role of Bird playing up and downscales with speed and accuracy.

"Deep Night" starts off with Clark, Chambers, and Jones in a Piano Trio-istic fashion with the horns taking their solos. The two bonus tracks include "Royal Flush" a Clark original and the standard "Lover".

The session is just heavy handed yet straight ahead jazz. Clark threw out all the fancy tricks and twists and turns and threw in simple yet unique tunes.

"Cool Struttin" is a classic.

4 out of 5 stars Doesn't disappoint........2005-06-09

A once-forgotten session that apparently acquired a following when the Japanese discovered it in the seventies, "Cool Struttin'" lives up to expectations. Were it not for what is known these days as an "addictive personality," Clark might have taken his place alongside Barry Harris and Tommy Flanagan as an enduring presence among latter-day mainstream bop pianists. Certainly his flowing, ceaselessly inventive melodic lines explain Bill Evans' interest in this post-Powell interpreter.

The Spotlight Review by Nate Dorward practically "nails" everything there is to know and notice about the recording. McLean is a tad less "sweet-sour" but still readily identifiable; Art Farmer is a happy, inspired choice for the reasons given by Dorward; Clark's bypassing a solo opportunity on the fast-moving changes of "Lover" raises questions about his facility, which was probably nowhere near Bud's.

If you want just one CD by Sonny Clark, or are a completist, or don't already have a lot of "classic," Van Gelder-engineered Blue Note sessions, you might easily consider this one an essential, five-star pick-up.

5 out of 5 stars Cool Struttin'.......2005-03-13

I first heard Sonny Clark on Dexter Gordon's "Go!" (see my review) and was super impressed with his very laid-back style and great ear. Seeing that this album had Jackie McLean, probably my second favorite altoist, among the personnel, I knew immediately that it would be good. I was definitely right since this great hard bop session captures the "Blue Note Sound" of the late 50's/early 60's perfectly. The personnel is an all-star group consisting of Art Farmer on trumpet, McLean on alto, Sonny, and Miles's great unit of Paul Chambers on bass and Philly Joe Jones on drums. The title track and "Blue Minor" are very bluesy tracks, with the title track being taken at a slower tempo than "Blue Minor". The type of blues solos that are heard on these tracks are nothing short of phenomenal, yet are very simple. "Sippin' At Bells" is a not-so-done Charlie Parker/Miles Davis tune that really is treated very well here. You really get to hear Parker's influence on the then young McLean. "Deep Night" is a very soothing tune, with Sonny's piano taking the spotlight. It really is a shame that he didn't get a chance to record more due to his incredibly short life, since he definitely ranks up there with the best of 'em and is my favorite jazz pianist. The next two tracks were previously unreleased until the RVG edition ("Royal Flush" and "Lover") and are both exceptional hard bop performances. If you are into the "Blue Note Sound", then look no further than "Cool Struttin'", one of the best hard bop sessions of all time.

4 out of 5 stars Thank me later.......2005-12-09

I own many Christmas CDs. This one ranks in the Top 3. From the first track "Vauncing Chimes" on you are in for a smooth experience. Enjoy it!

5 out of 5 stars I'm buying the CD because I wore out the tape.......2002-02-09

I own about 6 or more Christmas jazz CDs/tapes but this remains my favorite - so much so that we now have to buy it again because we wore our the tape.

For us it is perfect background music for mellow parties, opening presents, dinner, etc. I have wonderful memories of listening to this tape in the car during long drives to the family.

But the CD is NOT elevator music - it's a quality collection, worth listening to with the volume up. Some of my Christmas jazz CDs tend to be un-imaginative saxophone versions of tired Christmas classics. Not this CD - the songs are original and creative.

Lastly, it is "approachable" - the kind of jazz that non-experts (like me) tend to understand and enjoy.

4 out of 5 stars Classic Blues & Jazz Lovers - Yule enjoy this Compilation.......2001-09-26

This is a jazzy blues yuletide compilation with classic jazz artists such as Chet Baker, Count Basie and Dexter Gordon playing some traditional holiday favorites. In addition, two versions of an original Thelonious Monk composition called "A Merrier Christmas" are also included. Contemporary jazz artists such as John Scofield and Benny Green also perform some compositions and vocal tracks by Lou Rawls and Dianne Reeves further add to the overall diversity of this compilation.

For those who can appreciate a more melancholic blend of yuletide jazz & blues, this is a great addition to the holiday collection.

5 out of 5 stars Struttin with Santa !.......2000-12-31

I bought this CD a couple years ago and enjoyed it somewhat at the time, only to re-discover it this Christmas season and now I find I am playing it constantly! There are a variety of styles here, from quiet piano to small combo to big band to loud, noisy contemporary arrangements. It all fits together very well, surprisingly enough, though I usually skip over the two vocal tracks. The cover and the title are references to a classic bop album of the fifties, Sonny Clark's Cool Struttin'.

5 out of 5 stars Great holiday listening.......1998-12-04

I've had this CD for several years and it is my favorite Holiday collection - lots of fun, jazzy arrangements which are festive, original and sure to cure your holiday blues. Instrumental Talent - not breathy synthesized fru fru music. If you like music live, jazz or blues, this is for you.

5 out of 5 stars It's so authentic.......2006-05-13

Who can say something additional about this wonder? You can taste every track with delight. You can relax with it at home; you can play it while driving, you will have a great companionship with this music; it will never let you down. It's so authentic, so frank, so good; no strange effects, sophistications or commercial tricks. No need of it. It is sold by itself perfectly, with its quality and artistry. Now there are a lot of records loaded with artificiality to trap a big mass of consumers; thanks god, the pureness of this music doesn't need any of these things; it's like Beethoven, it's 5th symphony is sold by itself. A masterpiece, never miss it.

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely.......2005-12-16

How did it take me so long? A Blue Note classic! Like millions of other Blue Note records, only more so. All the reviewers are right to keep their reviews so short. What is there really to say? Everybody's blowing, the groove is cool and funky. Blue Minor is a minor masterpiece...you need it!

5 out of 5 stars Sassy , yet very classy...........2001-12-16

I'll admit, the album cover brought this CD to my attention. It reminded me of the classy late 50's and early 60's (of which I never had the opportunity to experience). When I actually listened to this disk I felt as though I had been transported to an early 60's night club where anybody who's anybody goes to be seen. The soft swing of Clark's piano, the cool fingered stylings of Paul Chamber's bass - what a combo! Judge this book by the cover baby! Dim the lights, grab a drink, grab your girl, and enjoy.

5 out of 5 stars So Cool!.......2000-02-29

This epitomizes the "cool jazz" thing. It's been in my CD player on constant rotation for the past five hours. This is classic Blue Note - great music, great cover! It's got that great late 50's feel. Go get it.

5 out of 5 stars cool cat jazz.......2000-02-25

...it's cool, it's swinging, it's definitly Blue Note! I can't get enough from this album. Cover, music, year, label - perfect!
