Often underrated, tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley shines on Soul Station, his standout album featuring a stellar quartet with Art Blakey, Paul Chambers, and Wynton Kelly. Stripped of additional horns, the album highlights Mobley’s warm tone, lyrical phrasing, and command as a leader. Blending two classic standards with four crisp originals, Soul Station captures Mobley at his peak—elegant, expressive, and quietly masterful.
