专辑介绍
by Thom Jurek
Recorded in 1958, this legendary date with the still-undersung Sonny Clark in the leader's chair also featured a young Jackie McLean on alto (playing with a smoother tone than he had before or ever did again), trumpeter Art Farmer, and the legendary rhythm section of bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Philly Joe Jones, both from the Miles Davis band. The set begins with one of the preeminent &swinging medium blues& pieces in jazz history: the title track with its leveraged fours and eights shoved smoothly up against the walking bass of Chambers and the backbeat shuffle of Jones. Clark's solo, with its grouped fifths and sevenths, is a wonder of both understatement and groove, while Chambers' arco solo turns the blues in on itself. While there isn't a weak note on this record, there are some other tracks that stand out, most notably Miles' &Sippin' at Bells,& with its loping Latin rhythm. When McLean takes his solo against a handful of Clark's shaded minor chords, he sounds as if he may blow it -- he comes out a little quick -- but he recovers nicely and reaches for a handful of Broadway show tunes to counter the minor mood of the piece. He shifts to both Ben Webster and Lester Young before moving through Bird, and finally to McLean himself, riding the margin of the changes to slip just outside enough to add some depth in the middle register. The LP closes with Henderson and Vallée's &Deep Night,& the only number in the batch not rooted in the blues. It's a classic hard bop jamming tune and features wonderful solos by Farmer, who plays weird flatted notes all over the horn against the changes, and McLean, who thinks he's playing a kind of snake charmer blues in swing tune. This set deserves its reputation for its soul appeal alone. [The CD version includes two bonus tracks: &Royal Flush& and &Lover&].

- @放马过来(过把瘾)：，
- @海岛冰轮(我还没想好要写什么...)：村上君在《远方的鼓声》里有这么一段描写：抬头看去，可以一闪一闪看见路上来往行人的脚，恰似桑尼·克拉克那张名叫《昂首阔步》唱片封套上的摄影画，小姐们穿着高跟鞋，那富有诱惑力的裸足不时能够见到，长筒丝袜在罗马快活轻佻的阳光下闪闪烁烁。如此脚踝带着“咯噔咯噔”不无惬意的声响，从离我们脑顶很近的上方走过，作为风景诚然不坏，但天天看未免有点累。

- @SEEEES：１９５８年、年明け早々のレコーディングセッション クラークは満を辞してレコーディングに望んだことだろう。 共演者の一人はこう言っている。 「彼（ソニー・クラーク）のピアノには固くなったところがぜんぜんない。スイングさせようと必死にならなくても、自然にスイングできる。すばらしく力強いブルース・フィーリングの持ち主だ」－アート・ファーマー
- @SEEEES：ミュージシャンたちからは高い支持を得ていたクラーク。 脇をアート・ファーマーとジャッキー・マクリーンが固め、リズム隊はポール・チェンバースのベースに\'フィリー\'ジョー・ジョーンズのドラムスだ。 しかし、当時の世論というか音楽批評界は厳しい現実を彼に投げかける。
