Dial “S” For Sonny marks the 1957 Blue Note debut of pianist Sonny Clark, showcasing his lyrical phrasing, crisp touch and hard‑bop sensibility. Recorded by Rudy Van Gelder and backed by a stellar sextet—Art Farmer, Curtis Fuller, Hank Mobley, Wilbur Ware and Louis Hayes—the album blends Clark’s original compositions with jazz standards, delivering a warm, swinging session that has become a cornerstone of the Blue Note catalogue.

This 2022 Classic Vinyl Series reissue preserves the original mono mix and is mastered all‑analog from the original tapes by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio. Pressed on 180‑gram vinyl at Optimal, it offers an audiophile‑grade presentation of a timeless hard‑bop classic.
