A textbook hard bop tenor performance
A modern jazz textbook played by a mature tenor saxophone player.
This is a masterpiece that showcases the essence of hard bop from Blue Note's proud tenor. Mobley's sonorous tone and precise phrasing are enjoyable throughout, and the title track, "Workout," in particular, fully demonstrates his virtuosity and musicality. A timeless classic of modern jazz, this album continues to influence many musicians.
