(RTI). Joe Harley produced it, and Kevin Gray mastered it AAA at Cohearent Audio, working from the original analog master tapes. The tip-on gatefold jacket holds a booklet with new liner notes by Syd Schwartz, the original notes by Ben Sidran and Bob Porter, and Francis Wolff photographs that Blue Note describes as never seen before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe music comes from piano trio dates Clark recorded for Blue Note that stayed entirely on standards. His October 1957 session with bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Philly Joe Jones became the album \u003cem\u003eSonny Clark Trio\u003c\/em\u003e, issued in the spring of 1958. He went back to Rudy Van Gelder's Hackensack studio twice later in 1958: in November with bassist Jymie Merritt and drummer Wes Landers, and in December with Chambers and Landers. That later material, together with alternate takes from the 1957 date, first appeared only in Japan, as \u003cem\u003eBlues In The Night\u003c\/em\u003e in 1979 and \u003cem\u003eThe Art Of The Trio\u003c\/em\u003e in 1980.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlue Note says this is the first time those recordings have shared a single vinyl package. The first LP carries the eight tracks of \u003cem\u003eBlues In The Night\u003c\/em\u003e, and the second reproduces the nine-track running order of the 1980 \u003cem\u003eThe Art Of The Trio\u003c\/em\u003e, opening with the three 1957 alternate takes. Harley has said he first found these recordings on Japanese-only editions in the 1970s and kept returning to them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClark joined Blue Note in 1957 after moving to New York, and his own compositions appear on the label's \u003cem\u003eDial 'S' For Sonny\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eSonny's Crib\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eCool Struttin'\u003c\/em\u003e. The Tone Poet series grew out of Blue Note president Don Was's regard for the Music Matters audiophile reissues. Was brought in Harley, known as the \"Tone Poet,\" to oversee it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLP 1, Side A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan't We Be Friends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Cover The Waterfront\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSomebody Loves Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlues In The Night\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLP 1, Side B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll Of You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDancing In The Dark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGee Baby, Ain't I Good To You (Alternate Take)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlues In The Night (Alternate Take)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLP 2, Side A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTadd's Delight (Alternate Take)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo Bass Hit (Alternate Take)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Didn't Know What Time It Is (Alternate Take)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAin't No Use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLP 2, Side B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack Velvet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'm Just A Lucky So And So\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGee Baby Ain't I Good To You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Breeze And I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Can't Give You Anything But Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 602488298445\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue Note Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.25.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Blue Note Records","offers":[{"title":"NEW \/ NEW","offer_id":48226599534750,"sku":"EVP-6304132B-NEW-NEW-NONE0000","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/8801\/1422\/files\/SonnyClark_ArtOfTheTrio_PROD_SHOT.png?v=1791176493","url":"https:\/\/evergreenvinyl.com\/products\/sonny-clark-the-art-of-the-trio-tone-poet-edition","provider":"Evergreen Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
