Hank Mobley ~ No Room For Squares

[BLUESNIK'S REVOX]

HANK'S "FIN DE L'AFFAIR" is a gorgeous track (Hank Mobley Quintet..with Art Farmer etc. B/Note)..." a luscious, slow ballad of regret." His Funk in Deep Freeze from the same album was picked up MUCH later as a fav of Chet Baker's set list. Taste.

Found my tape of Alyn S's JAZZ LIBRARY on Mobley (with Dave Gelly) last night...an excellent critical/sympathetic survey of his work. WELL worth a repeat.

Why on EARTH is that programme on at midnight? FEKIN madness.

As you say a wonderful ballad performance - Hank never wasted a note.

I have come across some really ace news this morning..... Uptown Records ARE RELEASING A DOUBLE CD CALLED " HANK MOBLEY NEWARK 1953" on April 17.

The blurb says - This live recording, made at the popular Newark NJ club "The Picadilly" precedes the 25 B Note records. The club had a motto "if you click at the Pic, you'll click with the world" (yuk!) On this Monday night, everybody was clicking and Mobley clearly demonstrated that he was ready to launch his impressive musical career.

Don't have any track listings or personnel but apparently Walter Davis jnr was Hank's pianist at the Picadilly during 1953 but that doesn't mean he is on this.... will try and get more info.

As we say in Wales ... Tidy

In even by Sun Ra standards, a cheesy arrangement
