Hard to beat this record. One of the best collections of hard bop tunes. Wonderful solos, lively and tight playing quintet #bluemitchell #thethingtodo #juniorcook #chickcorea #genetaylor #aloysiusfoster #bluenote #bluenoterecords

Louis Sabu Martinez. Conguero and percussionist. Played on countless albums as side but just a handful as lead. This one for Blue Note in 1957 #sabu #palocongo #bluenote #bluenoterecords #arseniorodriguez

Fiery Lee meets the middleweight champ of blow. Hank’s understated approach gives Lee a lot of room to showcase his sound. All in a great record to play over and over #hankmobley #leemorgan #peckintime #wyntonkelly #paulchambers #charliepersip #bluenote #bluenoterecords

Confirmation features just 3 tracks recorded from the all-star sessions for The Sermon and Houseparty between 1957-58. Only released in 1979, you’d get it just to listen to these cats jam #jimmysmith #confirmation #bluenote #bluenoterecords #kennyburrell #leemorgan #artblakey #loudonaldson #tinabrooks #georgecoleman #curtisfuller
