Hank Mobley: The Session Musicians
Playlist - 15 Songs
Hank Mobley was a prolific bandleader for Blue Note, but the tenor saxophonist was also one of the most desired sidemen of the ‘50s and ‘60s. His fleet, slaloming lines on a track like “Infra-Rae” were crucial in forging the hard-bop blueprint for Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, while his ease with funky soul jazz radiates on Herbie Hancock's “Blind Man, Blind Man”. And Mobley's sleek grace alongside Miles Davis is inescapable on “Pfrancing”.
