The record
A patchwork session stitched from vault dates, its rotating cast -- Hubbard, Morgan, and Byrd on trumpet, Hancock and Tyner among the pianists -- speaks to how deep Blue Note's mid-60s bench really was. Mobley's tenor stays the constant, unhurried and blues-rooted, gliding through hard bop with the effortless authority that made him the label's most reliable craftsman.

Pressings
We hold no original-era LP for this title. The only pressing on file is a 1986 French Blue Note, BST 84435, cut DMM and carrying an RVG stamp -- an eighties European edition rather than anything near the session. If an earlier copy exists it sits outside what we list, so verify it yourself before paying original-pressing money for it.
