About
Hank Mobley follows Art Farmer with half a chorus of tenor saxophone on "My One And Only Love" at approximately 61 BPM, maintaining the intimate mood of this ballad from The Stylings of Silver. Hank Mobley follows Art Farmer, soloing over just the bridge and last A section. His breathy sound and flowing melodic lines add warmth and depth to the 32-bar AABA form in C, the partial-chorus format creating a seamless transition from Farmer's opening A sections. As the second of three soloists, Mobley's statement contributes to the song's emotional arc without disrupting its delicate atmosphere.
Hank Mobley was 26 to 27 years old at the time.
