HANK MOBLEY Roll Call (Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series 2025 UK/EU limited edition 6-track stereo LP pressed on 180-gram audiophile vinyl at Optimal Media in Germany, mastered from the original analogue tapes by Kevin Gray at Cohearant Audio. Tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley was on a serious roll in 1960 when he recorded Roll Call, the middle album in a trilogy of hard bop masterpieces that includes the equally essential albums Soul Station and Workout. For Roll Call, Mobley reconvened the Soul Station rhythm section of pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Art Blakey with the addition of Freddie Hubbard on trumpet. The quintet delivers invigorating performances of Mobley originals including the spirited title track, the swaggering "My Groove Your Move," and the church-infused "Baptist Beat." A sublimely swinging version of "The More I See You" is the lone standard on this six-song hard bop masterclass. Picture sleeve with hype sticker, factory sealed).
