Hank Mobley
Tenor Sax Solo on
Pfrancing (No Blues)

About

Taking the 4th solo, this tenor sax improvisation spans four choruses of the 12-bar blues at a medium swing tempo of 134 BPM. The 12-bar blues form provides a familiar harmonic framework that invites inventive melodic and rhythmic exploration. Situated between Wynton Kelly's piano solo and Paul Chambers's turn on acoustic bass, it occupies a pivotal spot in the arrangement.

Hank Mobley was 30 to 31 years old at the time.
