This is a John Zorn Quartet recording, dedicated to the music of the late bebop pianist Sonny Clark. Personnel: John Zorn (alto saxophone); Wayne Horvitz (piano); Bobby Previte (drums). Recording information: Classic Sound, NY (11/25/1985-11/26/1985). This unusual album is an unlikely success. Altoist John Zorn, who is best-known for his avant-garde flights and rather eccentric concept albums, here plays it fairly straight. He interprets seven compositions (all fairly obscure) by the somewhat forgotten hard bop pianist Sonny Clark including "Cool Struttin'," "Voodoo" and "Sonny's Crib." With alert support from pianist Wayne Horvitz, bassist Ray Drummond and drummer Bobby Previte, Zorn creates fairly boppish solos with occasional hints at more advanced improvising techniques. Worth checking out. ~ Scott Yanow
