Hank Mobley
Henry "Hank" Mobley is an American saxophonist and soprano composer of hard bop and jazz soul. Mobley was described by Leonard Feather as a "mid-range tenor saxophone champion", a metaphor used to describe his tone, neither as aggressive as John Coltrane nor as smooth as Stan Getz, and his relaxed style, delicate and melodious, especially in contrast to the likes of Sonny Rollins and Coltrane. Critic Stacia Proefrock declared him "one of the most underrated musicians of the bop era".
