After having heard Mobley's 1961 masterpiece "Workout" I set out to find more Mobley albums and what a great discovery was "The Turnaround"!
I was already very familiar with the title track......i mean come on this is a classic, but the rest of the album was equal to this number! Mobley is joined by jazzmates Freddie Hubbard (trumpet), Barry Harris (piano), Paul Chambers (bass) and Billy Higgins (drums). On 2 of the tracks Mobley is joined by Donald Byrd, Herbie Hancock, Butch Warren and Philly Joe Jones.
This is classic 60's Blue Note-era jazz with huge sound and deep jazzey swingey riffs and tons of improvisation! Your feet will beat on every note and not stop until the last songs completes......this is a true jazz lovers treat of an album.
