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.
