  5. Herbie Hancock, My Point of View, 1963 on Blue Note

    Hancock's sophomore album as a leader, recorded by Rudy Van Gelder in Englewood Cliffs NJ. Hancock joined by Donald Byrd (trumpet), Gracham Moncur III (trombone), Hank Mobley (tenor sax), Grant Green (guitar), Chuck Isreals (bass), and Anthony Williams (drums). Herbie Hancock is a master, and it is wonderful to find the early Blue Note albums - I now have the first five in good vinyl editions. All the tracks on this one are Hancock originals - love "Blind Man, Blind Man" which recalls & […]

  10. Freddie Roach, Good Move!, 1964 on Blue Note

    Freddie Roach’s third album as a leader, recorded by Rudy Van Gelder in Englewood Cliff with Blue Mitchell (trumpet), Hank Mobley (tenor sax), Eddie Wright (guitar), and Clarence Johnston (drums).

    Tunes include “It Ain’t Necessarily So” (Gerswhin) and Pastel (Garner) as well as “T’Ain’t What You Do (It’s The Way That You Do It).” Great soul-jazz organ here.

    My copy—via Amazon—is the Tone Poet Series reissue from 2024, with lacquer cut by Kevin Gray and pressing at RTI. As you can expect from this series it’s a great sounding pressing with lovely packaging.

  15. A great addition to my collection, a title in Mobley's catalog which is rather hard to find. This first European pressing sounds wonderful.

  16. Hank Mobley Sextet - Hank

    A few years after his 1955 Blue Note debut, and after his "Messages", Mobley (tenor) is joined by Donald Byrd (trumpet), John Jenkins (Alto), Bobby Timmons (piano), Wilbur Ware (bass), and Philly Joe Jones (drums).

    Some pretty classic hard-boppin' going on, led by ex-Jazz Messenger Mobley (& joined by Byrd). Nice new mono remaster.

  21. Hank Mobley - Poppin'

    Add another one to the "old session (in this case, 1957) on the shelf until years later (1980)" pile. And even then, it was only released in Japan until recently.

    Craziness.

    Well, at least it's out now—a great hard bop session with Art Farmer (trumpet), Pepper Adams (baritone), Sonny Clark (piano), Paul Chambers (bass), and Philly Joe Jones (drums).
