Thinking of Home
1980 studio album by Hank Mobley
Thinking of Home Hank Mobley , recorded on July 31, 1970, but not released by Blue Note until 1980.[ 1] [ 2] Woody Shaw , pianist Cedar Walton , guitarist Eddie Diehl, bassist Mickey Bass , and drummer Leroy Williams . This was Mobley's 26th (and final) recording for Blue Note.
Reception
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow states, "It is only fitting that Hank Mobley would record one of the last worthwhile Blue Note albums before its artistic collapse (it would not be revived until the 1980s) for his consistent output helped define the label's sound in the 1960s".[ 3]
On All About Jazz Thinking of Home should remind diehard jazz fans (and enlighten those newer to the genre) that Mobley was an innovative and stimulating tenor saxophonist who consistently swung."[ 6]
