This LP has material from 1961 that for no real reason went unreleased until 1985. One song, "Three Coins in a Fountain," is from the same session that resulted in tenor saxophonist
Hank Mobley's famous
Workout session with guitarist
Grant Green, pianist
Wynton Kelly, bassist
Paul Chambers and drummer
Philly Joe Jones. The other five numbers -- three obscure
Mobley originals, plus "I Should Care" and "Hello Young Lovers" -- are from the previously unheard December 5, 1961 session with the same personnel except for
Green.
Hank Mobley was in a prime period around this time, and all of his Blue Note recordings are well worth picking up.
