Hank Mobley - This I Dig Of You

So Good!

Hank Mobley was so gifted- melodically, as a composer- he was his own man in terms of style- his solos are great to transcribe- he was
rthymically sophisticated and his ideas flowed- this is just like athletes who make things look easy but try it yourself and you know it's not! A jazz icon, one of the masters!

I think what he means is that these guys play exceptionally well with the emphasis on the music, not on trying to stretch the limits of jazz thereoy. I agree with you this is one of the all time best tracks.

yaaa hoooo !

ive been playing alto and bari for the last several years, so alli really listened to for transcribing were alto and bari players. now ive taken up tenor, and my freind recommened mobley, and ive actually already heard alot of his stuff. hes great!

Outstanding! Thanks for posting this timeless classic.

I thought you meant that, just wanted to make sure. These days there are too many players trying to be "sensational"
"innovative" or "different" instead of just playing well and taking care of business, it´s easy to misunderstand those words.GRTS !

I think that being innovative and different is totally possible at the same time of taking care of business. Ex Joe Henderson. The problem arises when people discard the basics in favor of being impressive.

I agree absolutely. But notice that I said "trying" rather than "being ".That´s the key to the problem.
