This review is from: Hank Mobley And His All Stars (CD-R)
This was one of the first long playing LPs that Blue Note records recorded in 1956. Hank's All Stars consist of Milt Jackson, Horace Silver, Doug Watkins,and Art Blakey. This offering should be for people who know what they are getting into. If they are hoping for an improvement in the tone of Bag's vibes from the old LP they may be disappointed. The tunes are pleasent and groovy enough, but some of the solo orders defy logic.----For younger hard boppers Hank's best seems to be ROLL CALL with Freddie Hubbard, DIPPIN' with Lee Morgan, and the quartet session ANOTHER WORKOUT. Also A CADDY FOR DADDY with Lee. Curtis Fuller on trombone is added for 3 of the 5 tracks. All are from the 1960's.
