In Reply to: Hank Mobley...by request posted by suretyguy on July 22, 2017 at 15:59:32:
well, you see I disagree.
I love Mobley better than Coltrane. Perhaps Mobley was not innovative as 'trane ( and this is probably reason why hi name doesn't show up much ) but as I listen to his stuff more I really love the way he plays. Perhaps his stuff is more accessible than *intellectual* Coltrane. I think I have almost all of his records but particularly later ones are hard to digest. :/ ( guess I am not a big fan of free jazz )
There is a Blue Note album where both players play together and it's fascinating to hear them in the same set. They sure have a different style.The only horn player I place way above anyone is Charley Parker.
I also enjoy his compositions. Again these are not earth shattering game changing tunes but they all have a nice lyrical flow and enjoyable. Not all good music have to be *challenging* to listen to. I also marvel at the economy of his notes. Never fussy nor overworked, he knows just when to stop. :)
I am not a hard core jazz fan but *Remember* always put a smile on my face.
There is such an ease and grace with a happy bopping along groove.
Hank Mobley (tenor saxophone); Wynton Kelly (piano); Paul Chambers (bass); Art Blakey (drums)Anyways, thank you for starting this thread. I am curious to see how it develops. :)
