Review 1
Masterful, mellow Mobley here takes the light reins in a relaxed quartet setting with old friends and ex-boss Blakey. Hank would record with Miles Davis within the year with Wynton and Paul, with Jimmy Cobb replacing Blakey on drums. Standards frame the date: an Irving Berlin beauty at a medium tempo has sweet solos from all. Hank gives "If I Should Lose You" his prime-time soulful ballad treatment. In betwixt are four smooth originals. "Split Feelin's" has the boppers' Latino ring usually applied to "Out Of This World". "This I Dig Of You" is justifiably one of the sought-after and polished gems of the Mobley Songbook. The title track stretches nine minutes in an after-hours mood with a head-noddin' back-beat and an ineffably full-sail solo. Wynton coitnly knows how to ring dem blue chimes. Oh, yeah. Chambers and Blakey push just enough, no more. | Players
