Tenor saxophonist and Blue Note stalwart Hank
Mobley was just two years into his fruitful 15-year association with the
label when he cut his swinging sextet date Hank
in 1957 with Donald Byrd on trumpet, John Jenkins on alto sax, Bobby
Timmons on piano, Wilbur Ware on
bass, and Philly Joe Jones on drums.
This
mono Tone Poet Vinyl Edition was produced by
Joe Harley, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original analog master tapes,
pressed on 180g vinyl at RTI, and packaged in a deluxe gatefold tip-on jacket.
