This is a superb performance by Hank Mobley Quintet, a popular tenor saxophone player who was very active during the hard bop era. Mobley has left behind many famous performances and albums, and this album, recorded in 1961, features a luxurious quintet of Grant Green (g), Wynton Kelly (p), Paul Chambers (b), and Philly Joe Jones (ds) delivering a lively performance. You can enjoy the true pleasure of modern jazz, a hard bop jazz performance with a perfect cast. US BlueNote BST 84080 RVG STEREO blue black label The original was released in 1961, but this record is believed to be a repress from around 1970. The jacket shows signs of aging, with scuffs, yellowing, stains, and damage, and a punch hole in the lower left corner. The record has fine scratches, but there is little noise and it is generally in good condition. You will be drawn in by the overwhelming, powerful Van Gelder sound that is characteristic of Blue Note.
