Hank Mobley Quintet (CD: Blue Note RVG)
Mobley and Art Farmer are backed by the original Jazz Messengers rhythm section — Horace Silver, Doug Watkins, and Art Blakey — on this March 8, 1957 masterpiece. The album offers two Mobley classics in the soulful, swinging "Funk in Deep Freeze" and his gorgeous ballad "Fin de L’Affaire." This Rudy Van Gelder remaster is superb from start to finish, and includes two alternate takes. (Blue Note Records)

 | Hank Mobley: Peckin' Time (CD: Blue Note RVG)
Another relaxed, post-bop Blue Note session, with saxophonist Mobley and trumpeter Lee Morgan in quintet partnership, supported by Miles Davis pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Charlie Persip. Morgan's inventive fire, crackling with ideas, is prominent, while Kelly's judicious piano support and solo contributions are outstanding. "Peckin' Time" may suggest pecking order---an agreed solo sequence for the musicians---or simply that, of the co-leaders, Mobley rules the roost. Whatever, this is a fine set in the main tradition. Will give pleasure. (Andrew Clark, Editor, Riffs & Choruses: A New Jazz Anthology. Continuum Publishing.)This hard-swinging February 9, 1958 date with Lee Morgan, Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers, and Charlie Persip was the last in a run of outstanding albums that Mobley and Morgan made for Blue Note in the two years prior. This Rudy Van Gelder remaster is issued in stereo with three excellent alternate takes added to the original album. (Blue Note Records)

Hank Mobley: Soul Station (CD: Blue Note RVG)
The most focussed and driving album from Blue Note's most favoured tenor man, 'Soul Station' s higher voltage is largely thanks to the presence of a responsive rhythm section that pushed him further than most. The fiery Art Blakey is in volcanic mood, notably on 'Dig Dis' (dig that solo!), which stokes Mobley's fire to the extent of him putting down his best solo on record. The lyrical simplicity of Wynton Kelly's piano adds to the sheer joy of an album which never fails to delight on every playing.A BEBOP SHOP MILESTONE- An essential recording for your jazz CD shelf

Hank Mobley: No Room For Squares (CD: Blue Note RVG)
Art Blakey-Jazz Messenger-influenced quintets here: tenor-sax Mobley teamed with trumpeters Lee Morgan and Donald Byrd, pianists Andrew Hill and Herbie Hancock, and drummer Philly Joe Jones. The modal music of Miles Davis and John Coltrane is an influence on medium/up-tempo pieces, and Mobley's own flexible rhythm and logical construction are always apparent---though the highlight is Morgan's trumpet rendering of the ballad "Carolyn." 1963 album notes rightly described the style here as "the basic language of contemporary jazz," suggesting a common tongue and working idiom---a claim still good forty years on. "No room for squares," indeed. (Andrew Clark, Editor, Riffs & Choruses: A New Jazz Anthology. Continuum Publishing.)
