Saturday's going to be a Hank Mobley day. He's my favourite tenor sax player by a good way.

Starting with 'Another Workout' as I slowly wake up with a cup of coffee.

Lovely version of 'I Should Care'. Hank's playing on slow numbers is just wonderful.

It's a jazz morning! Now I'm listening to Hank Mobley's "Soul Station" album, released on the Blue Note label in 1960. The quartet features Mobley on tenor saxohone, Art Blakey on drums, Wynton Kelly on piano, and Paul Chambers on bass. This is very good hard bop.

Thinking about Breakthrough! It must have been a hard session for them. Just 3 days after the death of Lee Morgan.

Hank recorded Summertime a few times in the last years.

Here's the only known footage of Hank playing live. Copenhagen 1968. I could watch this forever

Last studio recording from Hank Mobley.

Cedar Walton/Hank Mobley Quintet - Breakthrough (1972)

It's the last chapter in my favourite book. It's not how anyone would have wanted it to end but wow what a completely wonderful story Hank gave us.

Hank's playing at the end was searching for something. He'd moved away from his early playing style but was still always Hank. His playing sounds raw. It's a tough listen at times.

to by . This is just one of my favourite records with three of my favourite musicians of this period: has such a distinctive room-filling sound, gives the thing backbone & colour to the rhythm, & Mobley manages to be both melodic & surprising by turn. Just love this record.

Incidentally, have done a really great job with this series: AAA, mastered by , well pressed, decent jackets, at a great price.
