Hank Mobley In Europe 1968 - 70

[Daniel A]

Interesting - he also talks about being booted off a Duke Pearson BN date in favor of Kenny Burrell. Ike Quebec gave him $10 and said "go home kid". So the Hank date came along ten years later ...

All this is discussed starting around the 20 minute mark of the video

Was Kenny Burrell on a Duke Pearson session?

I wondered the same thing. Did a little searching ... only thing I could find was A New Perspective which of course is a Donald Byrd record.

Interesting - he says '63, but the video "corrects" it to 1959, around the time of the Duke Pearson trio albums (upon which it does not appear that KB appears). He also mentions Israel Crosby and Arthur Edgehill on the date. A little Googling reveals nothing about these guys on record together Makes me kind of curious ...

He goes on to say that Lion and Wolff were brothers - he didn't know why they had two last names and that they were from South Africa ...

Maybe it was a session Duke Pearson was arranging for BN? But that would have been post 63-64? Who knows?

I got excited and thought I'd overlooked a small group session with Duke Pearson and Kenny Burrell

Ike Quebec died in January of 1963, so if the rest of the story is correct it would have had to be pre '63.

Israel Crosby died Aug. 11, 1962.

Bringing this up again, for those who may have missed it, especially since the link in today's Jazz Gazzette from Mosaic didn't work (at least for me).

Thanks for bumping this one up, Brad. I had somehow missed it the first time. Caused me to go back and listen to a bit of Hank, which is always a good thing!
