I am still going through Mobley's catalogu expanding to the album he played as a side man. ( seriously I would have never bought Elmo Hope album if it weren't for Hank ) :/ I still don't own any from Debut Records ( Max Roach Quartet ) or Savoy releases. Luckily plenty of Blue Note reissues. ( that's how I got to know his work ) A big band 'A slice of the top' is an interesting one. I remember liking Tynor's piano how pretty it was.Another thing I noticed about Mobley's playing ( you mention Gordon whome seems to be many's darlin' ), in spite his *easy going relaxed style, to me, it never sounds *loungy*. Maybe because his sense of timing is impeccable. His tunes are always easy to follow for me. Wonder if it's related to what you meany by *rhythmic concept*?
Can you elaborate?Currently listening:
Love this *I should care* with Walter Bishop on piano rather than his later Blue Note recording of the same tune with Wynton Kelly.
Mobley's ending riff on this tune is just gorgeous.
