The Iconic Hank Mobley

Hank Mobley, a name synonymous with the golden age of jazz, has left an indelible mark on the world of music. Born on July 7, 1930, in Eastman, Georgia, Mobley emerged as a prominent tenor saxophonist during the mid-20th century. His contributions to the genre, both as a bandleader and a sideman, have solidified his place in the pantheon of jazz legends. Here are the Hank Mobley Tracks and Albums.

The Blue Note Years

One cannot delve into the world of Hank Mobley without exploring his significant association with the iconic Blue Note Records. Mobley’s discography on Blue Note is a treasure trove of timeless recordings that capture the essence of his artistry.

“Soul Station” (1960)

Released in 1960, “Soul Station” stands as one of Mobley’s most celebrated albums. The album features a stellar lineup, including Art Davis on bass, Wynton Kelly on piano, and the formidable rhythm section of Paul Chambers on bass and Philly Joe Jones on drums. The title track, “Soul Station,” is a masterpiece that showcases Mobley’s ability to craft soulful, melodic improvisations.

“Roll Call” (1960)

Hot on the heels of “Soul Station,” Mobley treated jazz enthusiasts to another gem in the form of “Roll Call.” This album features a dynamic lineup with Freddie Hubbard on trumpet, Wynton Kelly on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Art Davis on bass. The title track, “Roll Call,” is a hard-bop classic that highlights Mobley’s compositional prowess and the collective brilliance of the ensemble.

“Workout” (1961)

“Workout,” released in 1961, is yet another masterpiece from Mobley’s Blue Note catalog. The album features an outstanding cast of musicians, including Grant Green on guitar, Wynton Kelly on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Philly Joe Jones on drums. The chemistry among the players is palpable, creating a session that effortlessly swings and grooves.
