Hank Mobley is best known as a legendary jazz saxophonist but he actually started as a pianist before moving to the tenor aged 16. His quartet saw him join up with the likes of trumpeter Art Farmer, bassist Doug Watkins, pianist Horace Silver, and drummer Art Blakey. This self-titled album came in 1951 and was remastered in 2008 by the one and only Rudy Van Gelder. Though not the most creatively challenging album for hardcore jazz heads, this is a rewarding listen where Hank shows the mastery of his instrument and plays with freedom, confidence and conversational flow.
