Hank Mobley - Poppin' (2020 Reissue, Remastered) LP

Hank Mobley, famously called the "middleweight champion of the tenor saxophone," had a round sound and an incredible rhythmic lightness. Recorded in 1957, Poppin' features a stunning cast of bop giants, including Art Farmer, Pepper Adams, Sonny Clark and more. A highlight on the album, "East of Brooklyn," is a masterpiece of lyrical construction. Blue Note Tone Poet Series features all-analog, remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.
