Dial "S" for Sonny

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Having firmly established himself as arguably the most in-demand accompanist on the label, the brilliant pianist finally steps into the spotlight for this phenomenal debut as a bandleader. The exceptional sextet, featuring a frontline of Art Farmer, Curtis Fuller, and Hank Mobley, perfectly executes his harmonically rich, highly infectious original compositions. The profoundly swinging session is highly celebrated for its flawless balance of sophisticated structural depth and deep blues feeling.
