Cool Struttin’

Originally released in 1958. “Cool Struttin’ is an album by jazz pianist Sonny Clark, released by Blue Note Records at some point between August and October 1958. Described as an ‘enduring hard-bop classic’ by The New York Times, the album features alto saxophonist Jackie McLean, trumpeter Art Farmer and two members of the Miles Davis Quintet, drummer Philly Joe Jones and bassist Paul Chambers. According to The Stereo Times, the album enjoys ‘a nearly cult status among hardcore jazz followers’, a reputation AllMusic asserts it deserves ‘for its soul appeal alone’.”
