I have always loved Hank Mobley. Nothing he has performed in as a leader or a sideman has been of poor quality. Let the detractors lament his later albums and performances as being shadows of his former self. To me, Hank Mobley was, in the words of Benny Golson " the most lyrical saxaphonist I ever heard" Jazz is about improvisation, self expression, and the calling upon historical references that are contained within one's soul. He was clearly an elegant, soulful, bluesy, and spiritual and spiritual individual who was very sensitive and wordly. All of his personal attributes were expressed in his playing. He could not hide who he was. He was the best in my opinion as a writer, stylist, and a composer however, like most geniuses in this genre was not fully appreciated while he was alive but is lauded posthumously. His playing and lyricisms are timeless and are continuously being mined for their intricate details. Beautiful they all are. Roll Call is exceptional for his use of the call and response idiom that is found in the culture of the Black Church. So, because of this, I do understand why his music was overlooked for it's genius. While Bluenote did an exceptional job in recording and preserving the music of Hardbop, I am sure they limited the full expression of many of their artist, even Hank Mobley, for the business aspect of music. One of my favorite Mobley albums outside of the Bluenote Catalog was Messages on the Prestige Label. There Mobley shows more of his genius and personality.
Roll Call Poster
During his tenure with Miles Davis, Hank Mobley made four Blue Note albums with band mates Wynton Kelly and Paul Chambers, the most celebrated being Soul Station with Art Blakey on drums.For Roll Call, recorded nine months later, Mobley assembled the same magnificent rhythm section and added Freddie Hubbard on trumpet. The result rivals its more well known predecessor in swing, soul and incredible solos. The gospely "A Baptist Beat," heard here in two takes, has become a favorite among club DJs and acid jazz fans.
Hank Mobley: Tenor Saxophone
