ソニー・クラーク

クラークの魅力な点はなんと言っても、あの親しみやすいピアノの語り口にある。 Art Farmer や Jackie McLean 達と吹気込んだ "Cool Struttin'" は、マイナー でファンキーなムードを一杯に発散させたところに良さがある。彼は1931年7月21日、 Pennsylvania 州 Pittsburgh 近郊の Herminie で生まれている(Died New York, January 13, 1963)。4歳でピアノを習い始め、6歳の時には既にラジオの アマチュア参加番組に出場していたというから、幼い頃から優れた音楽的才能に 恵まれていたと言える。51年兄と一緒に LA に赴き、Wardel Gray, Oscar Pettiford, Baddy de Franco, Howard Rumsey らのグループを経て、57年に 西海岸に移り, Dyna Washington の伴奏を務める他にブルーノートの ハウス・ピアニスト的存在として活躍する。彼のブルージーかつシンプルなピア ノ・スタイルは、国内では多くのファンを獲得しており、従って彼に対する評価もどこ の国に較べても高いものを得ている。
