Experience the brilliance of classic jazz with Hank Mobley: Poppin’, an iconic hard bop album recorded at the legendary Van Gelder Studio on October 20, 1957. Although it was recorded in 1957, this gem wasn’t released until 1980, making it a rare find for true collectors. Featuring the remarkable Miles Davis rhythm section, including Paul Chambers on bass and Philly Joe Jones on drums, this album also showcases the talents of Sonny Clark on piano, Art Farmer on trumpet, and Pepper Adams on baritone sax.
With fine Mobley originals like the energetic title track, ‘Gettin’ Into Something’, and ‘East Of Brooklyn’, along with a captivating rendition of Miles Davis’s ‘Tune Up’ and a powerful interpretation of the standard ‘Darn That Dream’, this album truly stands out. Produced by Alfred Lion and with liner notes by Lawrence Kart, Hank Mobley: Poppin’ is considered one of the best classic jazz albums to own.
