GEO, no artist on record labels like Bluenote or Prestige had the authority to decide when to record/release an album. Lottsa jazz musicians went through a junkie period. They didn't wake up one Tuesday, look at their nearly empty stash and say to themselves "Uh oh, I better call Alfred Lion and tell him I want to record on Friday." in order to get cash for smack and expect Alfred Lion to just say "Fine, I'll set up the session". Do you think Jackie McLean did that?
I really can't understand why you and some others think Mobley was more popular than Joe Henderson - or Dexter for that matter. I don't have any stats in front of me, but I seriously doubt Hank recorded more than Henderson, and no way did he make as much money as either Dexter or Joe.
