Surfing the CD channel on Dish Network, I stopped on the Jazz Traditions locale hearing a nice sounding tune called "Advance Notion" on the Hi Voltage LP by Hank Mobley.

Anyone else a fan of his work & style?

Rome

You bet.

"No Room for Squares" is a classic.

Ken

Hey, thanks Ken!
I think I will start checking on his stuff now. The Advance Notion tune is sweet. I am sure the one you mentioned is a nice.

Hello Rome!! Good Stuff :yes:
I have Hank Mobley's Soul Station & Hank Mobley and his All Stars. I a big Jazz Messengers fan. The talent that came out of that band were incredible!! :thmbsp:

Soul Station is Mobley's most famous set, and deservedly so. Hi Voltage and Caddy For Daddy are faves of mine. But almost any Blue Note Mobley session is worth picking up, and there are quite a few of them.

If you ever come across copies of Curtain Call or Poppin, grab them- just as good as any of his more common recordings, but very hard to find for some reason..

Hey CB!
Indeed, Jazz Messengers is a fav of mine as well. I will make a note of your info.

Thanks,

I just got into him a few weeks ago , great player , got a 2 lp 1976 pressing of "Messages" that's pretty great .

Just got 4, 5 & 6 by jackie Mclean which Hank plays on .

I have also been listening to a ton of Freddie Hubbard's stuff & Wayne shorter , just great , great music ! most of that Blue note & prestige stuff is really good .

Mobley fan here +1 on the Soul Station. Art Blakey too! Gotta be vinyl for me though.

I have several Hank Mobley recordings and enjoy them all.

One of my favorite jazz artists!!!!
With some incredible albums as leader as well as several as a sideman.
Here are my top rated ones:

Hi David!
I am a fan of Shorter as well & enjoy his solo on Paco's "Opus Pocos."
Just a funky tune, indeed!

I visited a local record store recently and there was a number of Hank's records. I will revisit to check for the uncommon ones.

I returned and there remained only one Mobley: CEDAR WALTON/HANK MOBLEY QUINTET: BREAKTHROUGH. I bought this and luckily found a SEALED vinyl of JOHN COLTRANE'S BLUE TRAIN. The latter I grabbed without hesitation.
