HANK MOBLEY
HANK MOBLEY AND HIS ALL STARS

Hank Mobley and His All Stars places Mobley at the center of a band worthy of its name. Donald Byrd lights up the lines, Horace Silver brings restless piano energy, while Doug Watkins and Art Blakey keep the engine running hot. Mobley’s tenor is fluid, warm, less showy but quietly lethal. Nothing is forced, everything flows. A balanced group record where hard bop finds natural elegance without losing its edge.
