Hank Mobley kicks 'Soul' into Gear

Jazz artists on the Blue Note label have always been among the tops in the business. One of my favorites in this coterie of jazz fellas is the superb Tenor Saxophonist, Hank Mobley. I feel one of the best albums Hank Mobley made was the strong one called, 'Soul Station.' Listened to it again this wintry Monday and was blown away by its delightful, smokin' bluesy approach. Also the backup piano guy on this set is the man of gigantic jazz finesse, the one and only Wynton Kelly. The man knows how to make those "ivories" really sing. Also on this shiny set is the power drums soulful man, the percussion star, Art Blakey. In the stylin' of Art Blakey, the drums come resoundingly alive. My favorite bass player, Paul Chambers, does fine work in this set, too. I read somewhere that the sophisticated bassist Charlie Haden was so impressed with the work of Paul Chambers. I, too, am a person who much appreciates the sensitive and mysterious bass work Of Paul Chambers. This Hank Mobley and guys workout on 'Soul Station' is still fresh and true dynamic jazz. Very satisfying!
