Mastered By Steve Hoffman and Kevin Gray at Acoustech Mastering
During his stint with Miles Davis, tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley's four Blue Note sessions with bandmates Wynton Kelly (piano) and Paul Chambers (bass) are considered to be his finest and most lyrical sets. Grant Green (guitar) and Philly Joe Jones (drums) round out the proceedings on this 1961 hard bop gem.
"Workout is a Blue Note classic in every sense, from its recording by Rudy van Gelder to is cover photography by Francis Wolff. Label stalwarts Mobley and Grant Green, backed by an illustrious rhythm section, meld bebop and blues into pure hard bop, every note with soulful feeling." - Larry Birnbaum, Stereophile Magazine
