Hank Mobley truly shines as a leader in the hard bop scene, just as he does as a sideman. His improvisation skills are impressive, and he has a knack for assembling bands that perfectly match his musical approach. Take his 1967 lineup, featuring Jackie McLean, Blue Mitchell, Bob Cranshaw, and Billy Higgins—what an incredible group! If you're just getting into hard bop and enjoy Lee Morgan's "Sidewinder," this album is a fantastic choice. While you're at it, give Sonny Clark's "Cool Struttin'" a listen too. Unfortunately, the quality of this pressing is a real letdown. Another Blue Note gem spoiled by Rainbo Records. I don't recall paying bargain bin prices for this reissue, but that's exactly what I got. Funny enough, this was the replacement for my defective copy of Lee Morgan's "Lee Way," another Rainbo Records disaster. Steer clear of this pressing.
Wow, this pressing is Incredible! 👏 OMG 😲 I couldn't believe it, especially since it was pressed at Rainbow Records 😳 (You know what I'm talking about) and it probably came from a digital file! The sound quality is soooo good 👍 And at this price, you just can't miss out!
Hank Mobley truly shines as both a hard bop sideman and a bandleader, his talent is undeniable. He's an exceptional improviser and has a knack for gathering musicians that perfectly match his vibe. Take his 1967 lineup, featuring Jackie McLean, Blue Mitchell, Bob Cranshaw, and Billy Higgins – what an incredible ensemble! If you're just dipping your toes into hard bop and dig the groove of Lee Morgan's "Sidewinder", this album is a fantastic choice. And hey, don't miss out on Sonny Clark's "Cool Struttin'" either. Now, the bad news – the pressing on this one is a real bummer. Another Blue Note gem tarnished by Rainbo Records. I can't recall if I snagged this for a bargain bin price, but that's the quality I ended up with. Funny enough, this was the replacement I picked after returning a faulty pressing of Lee Morgan's "Lee Way", another Rainbo Records masterpiece. Steer clear of this pressing, folks.
Wow, this pressing is absolutely fantastic! 👏 I couldn't believe it when I heard it, especially since it was pressed at Rainbow Records 😳 (you know what I'm talking about 😉) and it likely came from a digital file! But it sounds incredible 👍, and at this price, you'd be crazy to miss out!
