Hank Mobley...Brilliant Artistry Fellow



LIKE A. CALDER"S ART (SHOWN HERE)  Jazz horn men are wonderful...especially the sax guys!  This us quite true of the soulful tenor guys.


TENOR SAXOPHONE IS A MARVELOUS INSTRUMENT! And the big, lyrical horn of the incredible Hank Mobley is terrific.  This man who was born in Eastman, Ga. and raised in Elizabeth, New Jersey did superior musical work.  I especially love his performances on the albums, 'Roll Call' and 'Soul Station.'  His super playing and his writing skill has now commanded a lot of tremendous respect.

Nice Writing

THE GOOD terse writing of Ernest Hemingway is a real joy.  He does not use too many adjectives.  His 'Torrents' is a fine tome.
