Our Take

HANK MOBLEY Four Classic Albums, mate. This four-disc compilation brings together some of Mobley's finest works in one tidy package. The saxophone legend's smooth, velvety tones will transport you to a smoky jazz club in 1950s New York City faster than you can say "chill vibes".

First up, we've got "Soul Station", a masterpiece of the hard bop genre. Mobley's precision and soulful playing are on full display here, backed by a stellar lineup that includes Art Blakey on drums and Wynton Kelly on piano. This album is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado.

Moving on to "Roll Call", and we're treated to even more of Mobley's signature sound. The title track, featuring a killer trumpet solo by Freddie Hubbard, is a standout moment on an already stellar record. The chemistry between the musicians is undeniable, making this album a true gem in Mobley's discography.

Next up is "Workout", which showcases Mobley in fine form alongside legends like Grant Green and Wynton Kelly. The interplay between the musicians is electric, creating a dynamic and engaging listen from start to finish. This album is a true testament to Mobley's talent and influence in the jazz world.

Finally, we have "Another Workout", a follow-up to the previous album that continues to impress with its tight arrangements and killer solos. Mobley's playing is as smooth as ever, cementing his status as one of the all-time greats in jazz history. Overall, this compilation is a treasure trove of classic Mobley tunes that any jazz fan would be lucky to have in their collection. Cheers, Hank!

Born in Eastman, Georgia in 1930, Mobley grew up in New Jersey and cut his teeth on the bustling jazz scene of 1950s New York. He honed his craft in the fires of legendary clubs like Birdland and the Village Vanguard, earning a reputation as a reliable sideman with a knack for crafting memorable solos. Mobley's prolific recording career spanned over three decades, during which he released a string of classic albums on the Blue Note label. His compositions, such as "This I Dig of You" and "Soul Station," have become jazz standards, beloved by musicians and fans alike.
