BKB'S PICK-Jazz Festival Special: Hank Mobley-Roll Call


Since my hometown's ( Montreal) International Jazz Festival kicked off it's festivities yesterday and is on til July 8, i decided to have an extra BKB pick this week. For all jazz fans and also for those who wants to discover an really underrated album, i propose you to look for Hank Mobley's Roll Call. From the moment Art Blakey's drums get it on on the very first track, Mobley & Co. never look back. This album's energy and power is off the roof and Freddie Hubbard's trumpet is making a superb combo along with Mobley's sax. Truly a Bop masterpiece who should be more well known by jazz and music fans.
