The first of two Mosaic Mobley sets.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hank Mobley was one of Blue Note\u2019s star attractions. Mosaic have issued two Blue Note boxed sets, one covering his \u201850s output, another for 1963-70. I have the latter, but not the former. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first box contains the following Blue Note releases:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a gap, in the Mosaic coverage, during which there were several Blue Note Releases not<\/em> included in either set. These are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve ordered these gap-fillers. And I\u2019ll be looking into how I can get either the first Mosaic box, or the albums it covers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like many jazzers of this era, Mobley struggled with substance misuse. Heroin addiction lead to his incarceration for spells, in the fifties and sixties. And later in life his smoking – which finally killed him – would lead to a decline that saw his star fade into obscurity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Very sad. But on these recordings, as leader, and many more as sideman, he left a lasting legacy, of great joy and beauty. I intend to fully savour that more positive bequest to the ages. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
