About
By the time Hank Mobley recorded the session for 1958’s <i>Hank Mobley</i>, he’d already made a pretty decent name for himself—a tenor player whose style was controlled, subtle, but vigorous; someone who could hold weight both as a bandleader and as a sideman for Art Blakey, Dizzy Gillespie, Horace Silver, and Max Roach. Mobley himself described his presence as something in between, moderate: “Not a big sound, not a small sound,” he told the jazz writer Leonard Feather. “Just a round sound.” Backed by a mixed band—including Coltrane affiliates Paul Chambers on bass and Art Taylor on drums—Mobley’s self-titled release (Blue Note 1568) is one of the standouts of his early years as a bandleader, splitting the difference between lower-key material (Rogers and Hart’s “Falling in Love With Love”; vibraphonist Milt Jackson’s coolly insistent “Bags’ Groove,” then a signature song with Miles Davis’ quintet) and brisk post-bop (Mobley’s “Double Exposure” and Shafi Hadi’s “Mighty Moe and Joe”). .
