Released in 1968 on Prestige Records, Sonny's Dream (Birth of the New Cool) is a landmark recording from alto saxophonist Sonny Criss, featuring arrangements and compositions by the visionary Horace Tapscott. The album showcases an exceptional ensemble cast including Conte Candoli, Teddy Edwards, and Tommy Flanagan, resulting in a richly layered jazz recording that has stood the test of time.
Recognized by The Penguin Guide to Jazz as part of their prestigious "core collection," this release is a must-own for any serious jazz enthusiast. This edition, part of the Original Jazz Classics Series, benefits from all-analog mastering from the original tapes at Cohearent Audio, pressed on 180-gram vinyl at RTI, and presented in a classic Stoughton Tip-On Jacket — making it a definitive collectors' pressing of an already essential album.
