Hank Mobley
Day 36
#73 – Henry ‘Hank’ Mobley (1930–1986). American hard bop and soul jazz tenor saxophonist and composer. Albums include: Hank Mobley Quintet (1957), Soul Station (1960) and No Room for Squares (1963).
Mobley described his sound as ‘round’. It sounds controlled, smooth, melodic. This smooth round sound is what led to bending the type. And although I looked at adding things, in the end I thought the letters looked strong enough on their own.
