Dave James Posted October 29, 2008 Report Posted October 29, 2008 Gheorghe, A lot of us on this board like to engage in some less than reverential responses to certain posters. Chewy, or as we like to refer to him in our more lucid moments, Aric, is one of those guys. He's a hoot and one of the more entertaining posters we have here, and, he's a huge Hank fan. If you do a search using Hank Mobley as your criteria, I think you'll find some very interesting and informative posts. Guaranteed. Up over and out. Quote

Well, maybe for a newbie it´s a bit hard to seek out the substantial informations. As about Hank Mobley, I´ve been looking for quite a long time for some informations. The strangest one was about what I think was his very last performance at the Angry Squire in NY just a short time before he died. I know he was present at a BlueNote anniversary but didn´t perform. At least I would have liked to know if there are photos from him, from that occasion. Quote
AllenLowe Posted October 29, 2008 Report Posted October 29, 2008 actually, wasn't Mobley in the Jungle Book? Quote
Dave James Posted October 30, 2008 Report Posted October 30, 2008 actually, wasn't Mobley in the Jungle Book? Uh oh...Allen's finally gone around the bend. Up over and out. Quote
jazzbo Posted October 30, 2008 Report Posted October 30, 2008 actually, wasn't Mobley in the Jungle Book? No that was Philly Joe Giraffe's gig and he and Mobley were on the outs at the time over a drug deal gone bad. Quote
Brad Posted October 30, 2008 Report Posted October 30, 2008 My son likes Devil Driver. Maybe Hank came back as a metal head. :rsmile: Quote

At least I would have liked to know if there are photos from him, from that occasion. last thing that i had on my mind before falling asleep last night (dreaming of a marvelous cd, looked liked a bheki mseleku album but with a different photo, i also saw the band live, lots of percussion and a great saxophone player i didn't recognize, not hank, different story) very ironic... the incident you mention appears in an adaption in the final passage of helge schneider's movie "jazz club" when the basketball playing hobo ("people must think i am nuts that i always walk around town dribbling this ball, but you know, basketball is my life") remembers that he once was the great jazz musician earl mobileh (who the jazz band (which includes jimmy woode on bass) who is now on the same space ship as him had always admired and hoped to meet some day) the irony is, that from your post i am almost certain you will not enjoy that movie that said, there are plenty of mobley threads, some of which contain more information than others... one thing is apparently there really are gaps in people's knowledge, another thing is, that aric/chewy, easily the world's greatest mobley enthusiast (hope i don't step on anyone's toes with this) prefers to ask stupid-looking questions (instead of letting out his knowledge of details which must be massive by now) don't have time to check whether these three here are clean but maybe you feel like trying http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=40576 http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=34381 http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=1746 Quote
