Hank Mobley

Alyn Shipton is joined by broadcaster and author Dave Gelly to select the best recordings by tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley, including his Blue Note work and some with Miles Davis.

Hank Mobley was one of the finest tenor saxophonists in jazz during the 1950s and 1960s. In this programme, fellow saxophonist, author and broadcaster Dave Gelly joins Alyn Shipton to select Mobley's best work. As well as the sessions Mobley led himself, principally for the Blue Note label, the programme looks at his brief period as a member of the Miles Davis quintet.
