Studio Master, Official Digital Download  | Source: acousticsounds.com  | Artwork: Front cover | © Blue Note Records
Recorded: November 13, 1961 at Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs, NJ.

Sonny Clark is not often heralded as one of hard bop’s great talents, but albums like Leapin’ And Lopin’ should rectify that oversight. An excellent pianist, composer, and bandleader, Clark demonstrates all three capacities on this 1961 date, turning in a host of fine originals and even better performances.
The personnel includes tenor saxophonist Charlie Rouse and drummer Billy Higgins, among others, and there’s fine playing all around, including Clark’s elegant skills on the keys. This album was the artist’s last as a leader (he died two years later), and it’s a fitting swansong, as well as a thoroughly satisfying listen.

Schumann’s chamber compositions are undoubtedly among the most important European works of the nineteenth century. Robert Schumann (1810-1856) was the archetypal Romantic composer, a man with unbounded imagination, who mastered almost every genre of his time. His chamber music, which may be regarded as an extension of his piano music, enabled him to explore the construction of his works.

This new box-set from ALPHA (seven CDs) presents for the first time Schumann’s complete chamber music with piano, played by one of the great Schumann interpreters, who has been exploring this world with great success since 2005: Eric Le Sage. The pianist is joined here by outstanding musicians Paul Meyer, Francois Salque, Franck Braley, Antoine Tamesit and others, who enable the listener to appreciate to the full these masterful works, written by genius of German Romanticism.
