Dustygroove:
One of Hank Mobley's greatest sides from the hardbop years of the late 50s – a searing sextet session with a 3-horn frontline! The group features Mobley on tenor, John Jenkins on alto, and Donald Byrd on trumpet – plus a crackling rhythm group with Bobby Timmons, Wilbur Ware, and Philly Joe Jones. It's great to hear Timmons and Ware together, especially as both of them were at the height of their powers at this point in their careers – and Jenkins' soulful alto work is a key part of the set, and makes us wish he'd gotten in the studio more after this time. Great throughout, with 2 long titles that include "Fit For A Hanker" and "Hi Groove, Low Feedback", a nice take of Bud Powell's "Dance Of The Infidels", plus "Time After Time" and "Easy To Love"

1. "Fit for a Hanker" - 7:24
2. "Hi Groove, Low Feedback" - 9:56
3. "You'd Be So Easy to Love" (Porter) - 5:39

5. "Dance of the Infidels" (Powell) - 7:54
