Lodi CarrHank Mobley Hank Mobley American jazz saxophonist and composer (1930–1986) Henry Mobley (July 7, 1930 – May 30, 1986) was an American tenor saxophonist and composer.[1] Mobley was described by Leonard Feather as the "middleweight champion of the tenor saxophone",[2] a metaphor used to describe his tone, that was neither as aggressive as John Coltrane nor as mellow as Lester Young, and his style that was laid-back, subtle and melodic, especially in contrast with players such as Coltrane and Sonny Rollins. The critic Stacia Proefrock claimed him "one of the most underrated musicians of the bop era."[3] Mobley's compositions include "Double Exposure", "Soul Station", and "Dig Dis".[4] Quick facts Background information, Birth name ...
