Sonny Clark 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 "The Art Of The Trio." Recorded over three sessions at Rudy Van Gelder's Hackensack studio: in October 1957 with bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Philly Joe Jones, in November with bassist Jymie Merritt and drummer Wes Landers, and again in December with Chambers and Landers. Those two latter recordings, along with alternate takes from the Sonny Clark Trio session from October, would later be released in Japan as "Blues In The Night and The Art Of The Trio," 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.

BLUE NOTE TONE POET EDITION: Stereo, produced by Joe Harley, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original analogue master tapes, pressed on 180g vinyl at RTI, and packaged in a gatefold sleeve with deluxe tip-on jacket.
