2009 ANALOGUE PRODUCTIONS "THE BLUE NOTE REISSUES", 2LP, 45RPM, 180G VIRGIN VINYL, CATALOG NUMBER AP-84230, RECORDED BY RUDY VAN GELDER, #558 OF A SOLD-OUT LIMITED EDITION OF 2,500 COPIES, MASTERED BY KEVIN GRAY AND STEVE HOFFMAN USING THE ORIGINAL ANALOG BLUE NOTE MASTER TAPES, PRESSED AT RTI, CAMARILLO, CA.
"HANK MOBLEY WAS A PERFECT ARTIST FOR BLUE NOTE IN THE 1960'S. ON THIS LP, MOBLEY IS JOINED BY TRUMPETER LEE MORGAN, TROMBONIST CURTIS FULLER, PIANIST MCCOY TYNER, BASSIST BOB CRANSHAW AND DRUMMER BILLY HIGGINS (A TYPICALLY REMARKABLE BLUE NOTE LINEUP) FOR THE INFECTIOUS TITLE CUT, THREE OTHER LESSER-KNOWN BUT SUPERIOR ORIGINALS, PLUS WAYNE SHORTER'S "VENUS DI MILDEW".
"ONE OF THE GREATEST BLUE NOTE ALBUMS OF ALL TIME--A RECORD THAT'S EVEN BETTER THAN THE LOOK OF IT'S COVER--WHICH IS ALREADY PRETTY DARN CLASSIC! HANK MOBLEY HAD BEEN MAKING RECORDS FOR BLUE NOTE FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS BEFORE THIS SET--BUT "A CADDY FOR DADDY" IS ONE IN WHICH HE REALLY TAKES OFF--MIXING EARLIER HARD BOP MODES WITH A MORE COMPLEX APPROACH TO BOTH RHYTHM AND LYRICISM--MATCHED WITH SOME WONDERFUL WORK FROM LEE MORGAN IN THE FRONTLINE, WHO WAS ALSO REALLY HITTING NEW HEIGHTS AT THE TIME--IN A GROUP THAT ALSO INCLUDES CURTIS FULLER ON TROMBONE, MCCOY TYNER ON PIANO, BOB CRANSHAW ON BASS, AND BILLY HIGGINS ON DRUMS. THE GROUP PLAYS THIS AMAZING MIX OF SOUL JAZZ AND MODAL GROOVES THAT SETS A WHOLE NEW STANDARD IN THE BLUE NOTE CATALOG--AND EVERY CUT IS A WINNER, WITH TITLES THAT INCLUDE "VENUS DI MILDEW", "THE MORNING AFTER", 3RD TIME AROUND", AND "ACE DEUCE TREY". FANTASTIC MATERIAL ALL THE WAY THROUGH, WITH TRACKS THAT WILL STAY IN YOUR HEAD FOR YEARS--AND ONE OF THE GREATEST JAZZ ALBUMS COVERS EVER!."
