Sonny's Crib is an album by jazz pianist Sonny Clark recorded for the Blue Note label. It features Donald Byrd, Curtis Fuller, John Coltrane, Paul Chambers, and Art Taylor. The first half of the album comprises three jazz standards, while the second half contains two original compositions by Clark. The album is often compared to Coltrane's Blue Train, recorded a fortnight later which features Fuller and Chambers, as the epitome of the Blue Note sound in the late 1950s.
Sonny's Crib was awarded 3½ stars by Thom Jurek in an Allmusic review which stated "Sonny's Crib is a phenomenal recording, one that opened the door to hard bop becoming the norm in the late '50s, and one that drew deft, imaginative performances from all its players".
