Hank Mobley - Poppin' (Blue Note Tone Poet Series) (LP)

Hank Mobley’s Poppin' captures the essence of late-1950s jazz with the unmistakable voice of one of Blue Note’s legendary tenor saxophonists.

Much of the material on Poppin' is penned by Mobley himself, giving the record a cohesive and personal feel that resonates with both jazz aficionados and newcomers alike. Revered for its fluid melodies and dynamic arrangements, this album is repeatedly celebrated as a gem of the Blue Note catalog and a glowing example of Mobley’s artistry within a powerhouse group of modern jazz greats.
