Thought I'd continue with some of Mobely's 1960s sessiosn, starting with Straight No Filter (Blue Note 1989 CD, mastered by Ron McMaster), which has two sessions, one recorded on March 7, 1963 with Donald Byrd (trumpet), Hank Mobley (tenor saxophone), Herbie Hancock (piano), Butch Warren (bass) and Philly Joe Jones (drums), and one recorded on June 17, 1966 with Lee Morgan (trumpet), Hank Mobley (tenor saxophone), McCoy Tyner (piano), Bob Cranshaw (bass) and Billy Higgins (drums).
Next, No Room for Squares (Blue Note 1989 CD, mastered by Ron McMaster), recorded on October 2, 1963 with Lee Morgan (trumpet), Hank Mobley (tenor saxophone), Andrew Hill (piano), John Ore (bass) and Philly Joe Jones (drums). This CD has the complete session. Some of the musicians mentioned on the cover played in another session not on this CD.

(Blue Note 1989 CD, mastered by Ron McMaster), which has the complete February 4, 1965 recording session with Freddie Hubbard (trumpet), Hank Mobley (tenor saxophone), Barry Harris (piano), Paul Chambers (bass) and Billy Higgins (drums).
