Hank Mobley On The Web

  • Hank Mobley Biography at BlueNote.com (Steve Huey): "His solo lines were full of intricate rhythmic patterns that were delivered with spot-on precision, and he was no slouch harmonically either. As a charter member of Horace Silver's Jazz Messengers, Mobley helped inaugurate the hard bop movement: jazz that balanced sophistication and soulfulness, complexity and earthy swing, and whose loose structure allowed for extended improvisations. As a solo artist, he began recording for Blue Note in the latter half of the '50s, and hit his peak in the first half of the '60s with hard bop cornerstones like Soul Station, No Room for Squares, and A Caddy for Daddy."
  • Hank Mobley Downbeat Interview, August 17, 1973: "It’s hard to get your own thing together, then play something of Monk’s. He’s unique; if you try to go his way don’t think you’ll bring your own self out. To me, if you’re with Monk you should play in the upper register as much as you can. Then it blends with him, ’cause he plays precise-like. A few saxophones could play with Monk. One was Trane, one was Rollins, the other was-me!"
