The Story

Tenor saxophonistĀ Hank MobleyĀ was at the peak of his powers throughout the early 1960s as he produced a staggering run of hard bop classics includingĀ Soul Station,Ā Roll Call, Workout, No Room For Squares, andĀ The Turnaround. Recorded in 1961,Ā WorkoutĀ was an energetic quintet outing featuring Mobley with guitaristĀ Grant Green, pianistĀ Wynton Kelly, bassistĀ Paul Chambers, and drummerĀ Philly Joe Jones. The spirited five-song set consisted of four dynamic Mobley originalsā€”ā€œWorkout,ā€ ā€œUh Huh,ā€ ā€œSmokin’,ā€ and ā€œGreasin’ Easyā€ā€”that proved to be ideal vehicles inspiring vigorous improvisations from each of the soloists. The lone standard ā€œThe Best Things In Life Are Freeā€ā€”taken from the musical Good News—was a showcase for Mobley’s more lyrical side.

This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is stereo, all-analog, mastered byĀ Kevin GrayĀ from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.

Tracklist:

1. Workout
2. Uh Huh
3. Smokin'
