 | Wednesday, July 10th at 9pm: The Jazz Record Art Collective is proud to present the Chris Greene Quintet performing Hank Mobley’s "Roll Call", released in 1960. ALBUM BACKGROUND: “From the first moment when Art Blakey comes crashing in to establish a kinetic Latin groove on the eponymous opening song, Hank Mobley's Roll Call explodes with energy. The quintet all work together flawlessly here, but Freddie Hubbard particularly shines as he plays off of Mobley's fluid riffs and carries more than a few lines himself, sounding particularly athletic and effortless on the closing track, "The Breakdown." Mobley's performance throughout the recording is stylish without being restrained, and the strength of his songwriting shines on five of the album's six songs. A warm, laid-back, sweet version of "The More I See You" is also included, with a muted Hubbard sounding very much like Miles Davis. It is a nice complement to this collection of originals, which has often been overshadowed by Mobley's other late-'50s and early-'60s work but is definitely deserving of some attention of its own.” ~Stacia Proefrock PERFORMANCES BY: Chris Greene - Tenor Saxophone John Moore - Trumpet Damian Espinosa - Piano Marc Piane - Double Bass Steve Corley - Drums ADMISSION & LOCATION: $10 admission.
