HANK MOBLEY "HANK MOBLEY QUARTET"
2011 MUSIC MATTERS, 2LP, 45RPM, 180G VIRGIN VINYL, CATALOG NUMBER MMBLP-5066, SOLD-OUT LIMITED EDITION OF 2,500 COPIES, RECORDED BY RUDY VAN GELDER, MASTERED FROM THE ORIGINAL ANALOG BLUE NOTE MASTER TAPE AND PRESSED AT RTI, CAMARILLO, CA.
"HANK MOBLEY WAS NOT JUST A MASTER OF HARD BOP BUT ONE OF ITS FOUNDERS. WITH THE "JAZZ MESSENGERS" AND "HORACE SILVER'S QUINTET", HE HELPED TO DEFINE THE ROLE OF THE TENOR IN HARD BOP, AND HIS SERIES OF BLUE NOTE RECORDINGS MADE HIM AN INFLUENTIAL FORCE FOR 15 YEARS. ORIGINALLY A PIANIST, MOBLEY SWITCHED TO TENOR WHEN HE WAS 16, AND BY THE EARLY 1950'S WAS A MEMBER OF MAX ROACH'S QUARTET."
"MOBLEY WAS WITH DIZZY GILLESPIE'S GROUP DURING 1954 BEFORE BECOMING AN ORIGINAL MEMBER OF THE "JAZZ MESSENGERS". AT THE TIME OF THIS ALBUM, HIS FIRST AS A LEADER, MOBLEY WAS ALREADY A MASTERFUL PLAYER. JOINED BY BOTH HORACE SILVER AND ART BLAKEY, MOBLEY PERFORMS SOME OF HIS BEST EARLY MATERIAL (INCLUDING "HANK'S PRANK", "AVILA AND TEQUILA" AND "JUST COOLIN") AND SETS THE STANDARD FOR HARD BOP TENORS OF THE NEXT DECADE."
"THE "HANK MOBLEY QUARTET" IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT EARLY HARD BOP ALBUMS, A GEM THAT SHOWS WHY MOBLEY WOULD BE A REGULAR BLUE NOTE ARTIST FOR THE NEXT 15 YEARS."
