Our Take

Buckle up, chaps, because we're taking a trip down memory lane of cool jazz with Hank Mobley's "Soul Station" on Red Marble Vinyl. Right from the get-go, this album whisks you away to a smoky jazz club in 1960s New York, where Mobley's smooth saxophone solos transport you to another time and place.

The title track, "Soul Station," sets the tone for the album with its infectious groove and playful melodies. Mobley's emotive playing is simply mesmerising, as he effortlessly weaves through each track with the grace of a seasoned veteran. The accompaniment from Lee Morgan on trumpet, Wynton Kelly on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Art Blakey on drums is tight and dynamic, creating a rich tapestry of sound that will have you tapping your toes in no time.

Tracks like "This I Dig of You" and "Dig Dis" showcase Mobley's prowess as a composer, with catchy hooks and complex arrangements that keep you on your toes. The Red Marble Vinyl adds a touch of class to the already stellar music, making this album a must-have for any jazz enthusiast.

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.
