Blues in the Night is a studio album by pianist Sonny Clark, featuring performance by Clark, Paul Chambers and drummer Wes Landers. It was recorded in December 1958, but shelved until being released in Japan in 1979, as GXF 3051. All the tracks can also be found on the compilation Standards. In 2014, it was reissued on a 24-bit remastered CD in Japan, as part of a limited series. The CD also included the six original pieces from The Art of The Trio.
