Hank Mobley is an album by American jazz saxophonist Hank Mobley recorded on June 23, 1957 and released on Blue Note the following year. The sextet features horn section Bill Hardman and Curtis Porter and rhythm section Sonny Clark, Paul Chambers, and Art Taylor.
Mobley 1568 is considered to be one of the most difficult to find and collectable albums in its original pressing form in the Blue Note discography. It was not reissued in the typical fashion by United Artists in 1971, and sold poorly in its initial pressing. Collectors quality copies of the first pressing regularly command well over $3,000.
AllMusic awarded the album 3 stars.[2]
