I Let a Song Go Out of My Heart is an album by the American musician James Clay, released in 1991.[1][2]
The album continued a comeback for Clay, who had reemerged on the national jazz scene when Don Cherry asked him in 1988 to play and record with Cherry's group; Clay was inspired by the sound he got at Van Gelder Studio, and elected to use it for I Let a Song Go Out of My Heart.[3][4][5] The album was produced by John Snyder.[6] Clay was backed by Billy Higgins on drums, Cedar Walton on piano, and David Williams on bass.[7] Clay's playing was influenced primarily by Sonny Rollins.[8] "I Mean You" is an interpretation of the Coleman Hawkins version of the song.[9] "John Paul Jones" was composed by John Coltrane.[9]
