Hank Mobley - Hank Mobley [LP]

Release Date: June 18, 2026

Part of the Blue Note The Classic Vinyl series launched to celebrate the 80th anniversary of Blue Note Records, this 180g heavyweight LP was mastered from the original analog master tapes by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio. It delivers exceptional audio quality and features cover artwork faithful to the original first pressing, making it a highly collectible item.

This is a 1958 recording by Blue Note's iconic tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley, performed by a six-piece ensemble including Bill Hardman (trumpet) and Curtis Porter (alto saxophone). The record captures the essence of hard bop — dynamic, rhythmic, and deeply expressive — featuring Mobley's own composition Double Exposure alongside Milt Jackson's beloved Bags' Groove and more.
