Album Notes & Community Reviews

Widely regarded as Hank Mobley's masterpiece, Soul Station is a definitive statement from the "middleweight champion of the tenor saxophone." The intimate quartet setting provides the perfect canvas for Mobley's lyrical and melodic genius. Backed by a dream-team rhythm section of Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers, and Art Blakey, the album is a masterclass in taste, swing, and the soulful elegance of hard bop.
