Hank Mobley - Mobley's Message - Analogue Productions LP (Mono)

180g Vinyl, Mono, Analogue Productions Prestige Reissue, Mastered by Kevin Gray

Cut from the analog masters by renowned mastering engineer Kevin Gray. Critic Leonard Feather called Hank Mobley "the middleweight champion of the tenor saxophone," balancing sophistication and soulfulness in a way that helped inaugurate the hard bop movement. On this Prestige offering, Mobley delivers his signature swinging style in three different settings - a quintet with trumpeter Donald Byrd, a sextet adding young alto saxophonist Jackie McLean on Charlie Parker's "Au Privave," and Mobley as the sole horn on "Little Girl Blue." Originally released in 1956.
