Our Take

HANK MOBLEY SEXTET With Donald Byrd And Lee Morgan (Clear Vinyl)

7.8/10

Hank Mobley, the unsung hero of the saxophone, shines on this latest reissue of his 1957 Sextet album featuring jazz heavyweights Donald Byrd and Lee Morgan. The clear vinyl adds a touch of vintage aesthetic to an already classic record, making it a must-have for any serious jazz collector.

From the moment the needle hits the groove, Mobley's smooth, soulful playing captivates the listener, taking them on a journey through bebop and hard bop landscapes. Byrd and Morgan's trumpet work complements Mobley's melodies perfectly, creating a dynamic and engaging interplay that keeps the listener hooked from start to finish.

Standout tracks include the up-tempo "Funky Track" and the hauntingly beautiful "My Sin". Each member of the sextet gets a chance to showcase their talents, with brilliant solos peppered throughout the album. The chemistry between the musicians is palpable, creating a sense of camaraderie that elevates the music to a whole new level.

While the recording quality may show its age at times, the energy and passion of the performances more than make up for any technical shortcomings. Overall, this reissue of Hank Mobley's Sextet album is a welcome addition to any jazz enthusiast's collection, showcasing the talents of three jazz legends at the height of their powers. Timeless music that deserves to be heard and cherished for years to come.
