Customer Reviews and Comments
This is one of Mobley's greatest records. He uses the same rhythm section that he had on his album "Soul Station", done some month earlier (Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers and Art Blakey), adding Freddie Hubbard on trumpet. With such a fast company, everybody bursting with enthusiasm, it was clear that that something great would happen. Hank Mobley had reached the peak of his career, with his unique sound, phrasing and harmonic skills fully developed. The addition of Freddie Hubbard is very rewarding. He was then"the new voice" and became one of the most influential trumpet players of the sixties. A particularly nice tune here is "A Baptist Beat", done twice (the original master and an alternate take). It is the album's feature of traditional influences, just like it happend on the title tune of the mentioned "Soul Station". The only non-original is the rarely performed "The More I See You", really a beautiful tune with a rare feature of Hubbard unsing the harmon mute. The special thing about Hank Mobley is his unique musicianship, he isn`t as spectacular like, let's say Johnny Griffin, with whom he recorded in 1957, with John Coltrane featured ("A Blowing Session", also available on RVG-Series), he has a more sublte way of expression, but once he has reached you, you'll love him the same way I do.
