In Episode 4 we discuss Sonny Clark as a leader in the trio format. We focus on two tunes in detail: "Somebody Loves me" from what is now known as the Standards Album, and Sonny's most recorded original tune "Minor Meeting" the version (take9) from the full edition of the trio album with George Duvivier and Max Roach. We also consider his improvising style, his compositional approach and his influences.
