Our Take

In the grand tradition of jazz legends like Miles Davis and John Coltrane comes Hank Mobley's timeless classic, "Soul Station." This album is like a smooth glass of Scotch whisky on a rainy evening in London - warm, comforting, and utterly sophisticated.

Mobley's saxophone skills are on full display here, weaving intricate melodies that transport you to a smoky, dimly lit jazz club in Soho. The title track, "Soul Station," is a masterclass in groove, with Mobley's soulful playing evoking the spirit of a bygone era.

The album's standout track, "This I Dig of You," is a toe-tapping, finger-snapping gem that showcases Mobley's skillful improvisation and knack for crafting deliciously catchy hooks. It's the kind of song that will have you bobbing your head and tapping your feet without even realizing it.

Throughout the album, Mobley is backed by a stellar lineup of musicians who bring their A-game to every track. Pianist Wynton Kelly adds a touch of elegance with his delicate yet powerful playing, while bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Art Blakey provide the perfect foundation for Mobley's soaring saxophone solos.

Overall, "Soul Station" is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado or music lover looking to expand their horizons. Hank Mobley may not be a household name, but after listening to this album, he'll certainly be a favourite in your collection. Cheers to that!

About the artist

Hank Mobley

Hank Mobley, the unsung hero of hard bop, is a saxophonist whose cool, understated style has left an indelible mark on the world of jazz. Despite not receiving the same level of recognition as his contemporaries, Mobley's smooth, lyrical playing has made him a favourite among connoisseurs of the genre. 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. Despite his undeniable talent, Mobley never quite achieved the same level of fame as his peers. Perhaps it was his laid-back demeanor or his reluctance to self-promote, but whatever the reason, Mobley remained content to let his music speak for itself. In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in Mobley's work, with reissues and tribute albums bringing his music to a new generation of listeners. His timeless sound continues to captivate jazz enthusiasts around the world, cementing his legacy as one of the greats of the genre. Hank Mobley may not have been a household name, but to those in the know, he is a true giant of jazz.
