Hank Mobley – A Caddy For Daddy (CD, 1990, Blue Note CDP 7 84230 2, Capitol Jax)

Why This CD Matters
A Caddy For Daddy captures Hank Mobley leading a formidable hard-bop sextet with Lee Morgan, Curtis Fuller, McCoy Tyner, Bob Cranshaw, and Billy Higgins. Recorded by Rudy Van Gelder at his Englewood Cliffs studio on December 18, 1965, the session combines four Mobley compositions with Wayne Shorter’s “Venus Di Mildew.” Alfred Lion produced the original session, pairing Mobley’s tenor with trumpet and trombone for a three-horn front line.
