HMV Review

From the first moment when Art Blakey comes crashing in to establish a kinetic Latin groove on the eponymous opening song, Hank Mobley's Roll Call explodes with energy. The first horn heard here is actually Freddie Hubbard's trumpet, foreshadowing the prominent role that he would have in the sound of this album. The quintet all work together flawlessly here, but Hubbard particularly shines as he plays off of Mobley's fluid riffs and carries more than a few lines himself, sounding particularly athletic and effortless on the closing track, The Breakdown. Mobley's performance throughout the recording is stylish without being restrained, and the strength of his songwriting shines on five of the album's six songs. A warm, laid-back, sweet version of The More I See You is also included, with a muted Hubbard sounding very much like Miles Davis. It is a nice complement to this collection of originals, which has often been overshadowed by Mobley's other late-'50s and early-'60s work but is definitely deserving of some attention of its own. ~ Stacia Proefrock, All Music Guide

    大抵、愛聴するジャズ作品は、60年代のモノが多い俺ですが、50年代のハード・バップ・スタイルの完成度を上げ、60年代に持ち込んだようなカンジを受ける面白い作品が、本盤や、「ソウル・ステショーション」等の、モブレーの作品群だと思います。トレーンの後任としてマイルスのバンドに加入する彼ですが、本作でハバードと絡むのと、当時のマイルス・バンドでマイルスと絡むのとでは、方向性が結構異なりますし、要求される事も当然変わります。モブレー嫌いのマイルス・ファンもいるようですが、そこを分かって欲しいです。本盤の構成メンバーは、個人的には理想的だと感じますが、ブレイキーのソロだけは、少しだけ、耳が疲れるかな..?。

    RVG盤ということでの期待は特に無いけれど、#1でのいきなり熱い二管に 触発されてウィントンの アドリブだってノリノリだ。テナーのミドル級チャンピオンとは言いえて妙だ。ブレーキーのソロだってごきげんだ。やっぱり、楽曲のセンスがないと、いい演奏だって生まれないという見本のような一枚でしょう!日曜日の午後に流れててほしいモダンジャズのトップオヴザリストです。

    ハンクの傑作というよりも、これはハード・バップの傑作でしょう!ハンクは仲の良いリー・モーガンとフロントを組んだ作品が所謂名盤と言われているが、個人的にはフレディとのコンビのほうが好きだ。骨太でしかも溶け合ったサウンドだ。リズムセクションもこの上ないメンバー。聴き終わった時のこの充実感は、ブラームスの交響曲を聴き終わったときに似ている。(分かりにくいか 笑)
