That gives the record extra weight, but it never feels solemn: this is hard bop played with lift, warmth and real snap, with Clark writing four of the seven pieces and shaping the session as much through ensemble feel as through solo display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe band helps explain why the album lands so well. Clark is joined by Charlie Rouse, Tommy Turrentine, Butch Warren and Billy Higgins, with Ike Quebec stepping in memorably on the ballad \u003cem\u003eDeep in a Dream\u003c\/em\u003e. Rather than crowding the front line with thick harmonies, the arrangements leave room for crisp unison lines, rhythmic momentum and Clark's bright, poised comping. Tracks such as \u003cem\u003eSomethin' Special\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eVoodoo\u003c\/em\u003e show both sides of the album: one open and buoyant, the other late-night and sly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt also stands as one of the clearest snapshots of what made Clark such a distinctive Blue Note pianist. AllMusic regards it as his fifth Blue Note date as a leader and a session often considered his best, while later writers have heard it as a moment when everything in his style fully came together. For anyone who knows \u003cem\u003eCool Struttin'\u003c\/em\u003e, this LP is a strong next step: a little more settled, just as melodic, and deeply rewarding as a full-band statement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue Note  vinyl reissue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNewly remastered for vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/sonny-clark-vinyl-records\"\u003eSonny Clark\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: \u003c\/strong\u003e Blue Note, Universal Music Group International\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vinyl-records-store-australia\/country_europe\"\u003eEurope\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/jazz-music-vinyl-records\"\u003eJazz\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/hard-bop\"\u003eHard Bop\u003c\/a\u003e\n          \n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eA1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Sonny+Clark+Somethin'+Special\"\u003eSomethin' Special\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Sonny+Clark+Deep+In+A+Dream\"\u003eDeep In A Dream\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA3 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Sonny+Clark+Melody+For+C\"\u003eMelody For C\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Sonny+Clark+Eric+Walks\"\u003eEric Walks\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Sonny+Clark+Voodoo\"\u003eVoodoo\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB3 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Sonny+Clark+Midnight+Mambo\"\u003eMidnight Mambo\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Blue Note, Universal Music Group International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50742235791425,"sku":"2681545","price":55.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1474\/5258\/files\/2907346.jpg?v=1792446922","url":"https:\/\/www.dutchvinyl.com.au\/products\/sonny-clark-leapin-and-lopin-389976","provider":"Dutch Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
