New Vinyl Record – Hank Mobley – Third Season
Blue Note, Tone Poet Series
Recorded in 1967 but not released until 1980 as part of the LT Series,Hank MobleysThird Seasonwas a typically high-caliber late-60s hard bop outing by the tenor saxophonist with a heavy focus on his own original compositions. Mobley had expanded his palette the year before onA Slice of the Top, an octet date featuring arrangements byDuke Pearson, butThird Seasonfelt like a return to a looser, small group feel despite the fact that it still featured a 7-piece band. Joining Mobley here are alto saxophonistJames Spaulding, trumpeterLee Morgan, guitaristSonny Greenwich, pianistCedar Walton, bassistWalter Booker, and drummerBilly Higgins.
