so about 50 legitimate sessions (ie., released around when recorded.. ) plus 13 or so released later on.... i wonder how many other blue note artists recorded as much for the legendary label.. grant green comes to mind but there aren't many others that recorded as much for blue note..that is for sure..

Love the list of Hank Mobley sessions. I think for distinctive style, simple and effective sessions and great ensembles, a student and player of jazz can't do better than to study Hank Mobley recordings. Funny how completely different the jazz business was back then, with so many recording sessions, guys swapping back and forth between bands, sidemen getting dates as leaders, and all that. I guess now with modern technology we have even more opportunity to record like crazy in our own basements, and wouldn't even need to meet the other musicians. Still, it was a golden era. The art of modern jazz was incubated by the social setting of the clubs, recording technology, and a few key record labels more than anything else, you could say.
