8:30 A Jazz Podcast - Episode #35 - Hank Mobley

In this exciting episode, your 8:30 crew Herman “Hollywood" Dawkins and Ray the Jazzman explore the sounds of the Blue Note Artist Hank Mobley.

Henry Mobley (July 7, 1930 – May 30, 1986) was an American tenor saxophonist and composer.[1] Mobley was described by Leonard Feather as the "middleweight champion of the tenor saxophone",[2] a metaphor used to describe his tone, that was neither as aggressive as John Coltrane nor as mellow as Lester Young, and his style that was laid-back, subtle and melodic, especially in contrast with players such as Coltrane and Sonny Rollins. The critic Stacia Proefrock claimed him "one of the most underrated musicians of the bop era."
