About this album

Cool Struttin' is Sonny Clark’s most celebrated album and a defining Blue Note hard bop statement. Recorded in 1958, it pairs Clark’s poised, blues-laced piano with memorable frontline interplay and a rhythm section that keeps the performance lean, stylish and swinging. The title track became a signature piece, while the set’s balance of cool confidence and deep blues feeling helped secure the album’s lasting reputation among jazz listeners and musicians alike. Its compact 1950s Blue Note sound and sharply focused writing make it one of the label’s enduring landmarks.
