Hank Mobley: Hank (Tone Poet Vinyl) (Mono) (180 g) (LP)

Not seven albums in one go, but at least seven albums in one year! That was the impressive record that Hank Mobley, then the leading tenor saxophonist of hard bop, could boast at the end of 1957. And even more surprising than the quantity was the unbroken high quality of these albums. "Hank" was the last album of this recording marathon. As always, the founding member of the Jazz Messengers had recorded it with some of the best hard bop musicians of the time, including three other Jazz Messengers. Blue Note Tone Poet Edition: Mono, produced by Joe Harley, completely analog remastered by Kevin Gray from the original tapes, RTI pressing (180g), sturdy tip-on gatefold sleeve, padded inner sleeve
