Soul Station (1960)
Album
Released
The critic Leonard Feather called Hank Mobley the 'middleweight champion of the tenor saxophone', and the label fits: his tone sits between Coltrane's searing intensity and Getz's airy cool. Backed by Art Blakey, Paul Chambers and Wynton Kelly, Mobley strips away clutter on This I Dig of You and Dig Dis to deliver pure, relaxed, melodic swing.
