Description

HANK MOBLEY / SELF TITLED

VINYL CONDITION: EX

SLEEVE CONDITION: vg++ (3" seam split on bottom center of cover)

LABEL: Classic Records ?– BN 1568-MONO-200G, Blue Note ?– BLP 1568.

NOTES: 2002 200G pressing. Mastered from the original first-generation monaural master tapes and cut with Classic Record's custom-built mono cutting head.  Nice copy...very different listening experience when compared to the multitude of digital to vinyl transfer reissues out there.

This stunning mono set was recorded by Rudy Van Gelder and originally released on Blue Note Records in June of 1957. The original Jazz Messengers, who Mobley had helped find, had just disbanded and the heavyweight tenor-man was splitting time between Horace Silver's new group and as an exclusive Blue Note recording artist. Calling on some of the cream of NYC's finest, Mobley opted for a sextet setting and the results became a classic. Including another sax player in Curtis Porter on alto and second tenor was a unique thought and added to the front-line punch of Bill Hardman's trumpet. The rhythm of Sonny Clark on piano, Paul Chambers at the bass and Art Taylor behind the drums is an all-star adhesive holding the group tightly together. Mobley's "dry and intimate" tone shines through in a subtle approach to the harmonies and cadence set in each selection. 

I grade records visually.  All records are carefully shipped with proper padding in a professional cardboard mailer.  Vinyl is removed from cover for safer travel during the shipping process (unless sealed).  Records ship to the USA (lower 48) with delivery confirmation 1-3 business days after cleared payment.

Many Thanks!
