Title: Hank's soul food!
Product review: Listening to this warm, rich cd is like enjoying a hot chocolate on a cold winter night, or like watching the sun set over the city. This disc evokes many emotions from me. It literally feels 'warm' to me. Not that this music is sappy or lounge-like. Not at all. This stuff swings. It simmers. It bubbles over. There is an infectious quality to "Remember", "This I Dig of You", and "Dig Dis" especially. "Split Feelin's" really chugs along with enthusiasm and light spirit. The title track is great and "If I Should Lose You" displays a tender quality to Mobley's horn playing that reminds me somewhat of Dexter Gordon in his more introspective moments. This is one of the best hard-bop era recordings. Period. It's not called a classic for no reason...ESSENTIAL.
