His own compelling original compositions were heard on numerous late-1950s Blue Note classics including the sextet\/quintet sessions \u003cem\u003eDial ‘S’ For Sonny, Sonny’s Crib, and Cool Struttin’,\u003c\/em\u003e but Clark also recorded a series of sublime piano trio dates for Blue Note that focused entirely on standards from the Great American Songbook and leading jazz composers of the day as heard on the new 2-LP set \u003cem\u003eThe Art Of The Trio\u003c\/em\u003e. Recorded in October 1957 with bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Philly Joe Jones, the album \u003cem\u003eSonny Clark Trio\u003c\/em\u003e was released in the Spring of 1958 as BLP 1569, after which Clark would return to Rudy Van Gelder’s Hackensack studio twice later that year to reprise the trio format, in November with bassist Jymie Merritt and drummer Wes Landers, and again in December with Chambers and Landers. Those recordings, along with alternate takes from the\u003cem\u003e Sonny Clark Trio\u003c\/em\u003e session, would later be released in Japan as \u003cem\u003eBlues In The Night\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Art Of The Trio\u003c\/em\u003e, and are compiled into a single vinyl package for the first time here along with a booklet featuring new liner notes by Syd Schwartz, original liner notes by Ben Sidran and Bob Porter, and never-before-seen photos by Francis Wolff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"accordion\"\u003e\u003cinput id=\"handle1\" name=\"collapse\" type=\"checkbox\"\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"handle\"\u003e\u003clabel for=\"handle1\"\u003eTracklist \u0026amp; Credits - 2LP\u003c\/label\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product_tracklist\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracklist\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLP 1\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide A\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan’t We Be Friends (James, Swift)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Cover The Waterfront (Green, Heyman)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSomebody Loves Me (Gershwin, DeSylva, MacDonald)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlues In The Night (Arlen, Mercer)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide B\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll Of You (Porter)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDancing In The Dark (Scwartz, Dietz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGee Baby, Ain’t I Good To You* (alt take) (Razaf, Redman)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlues In The Night (alt take) (Arlen, Mercer)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLP 2\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide A\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTadd’s Delight** (alt take) (Tadd Dameron)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo Bass Hit** (alt take) (J.
