mikeweil Posted August 17, 2003 Report Posted August 17, 2003 I guess this must be my favourite Blue Note LP cover, as it is the only LP I bought twice just to frame it - still hangs behind me while I type this: Your turn! Quote
Guest ariceffron Posted August 17, 2003 Report Posted August 17, 2003 as a longtime carrier of the word of mobley i want to inquire, why is this your favorite album cover of all blue notes? Its not even an "old skool" blue note cover. and hank looks kind of funny in that yellow shirt. what the hell. nevertheless it is one of the only well known colour photos of hank. i dont know what my favorite one is- like jazz and art there are so many interesting works Quote

Why is this my favourite? It shows the working spirit at the session, I like the yellow shirt, it matches the pencil , it is one of my favourite Mobley LPs .... not old school, for sure, but I simply like it better than most Mobley covers, although some are nice, especially Hi Voltage - which has another colour photo.

Uncle Skid Posted August 25, 2003 Report Posted August 25, 2003 I'll second the vote for Henderson's Page One. Just played it earlier tonight, and that one just never gets old... Also have to put in a vote for the following: This one holds a special place -- it's one of the first jazz CD's I purchased, plus my kids wander around the house singing "Song for my Father" all the time. My techno-12 year old is still trying to figure out how to make that song the ringer on my cell phone! Quote
DrJ Posted August 25, 2003 Report Posted August 25, 2003 Don't really have a favorite single one, but here are some I never tire of: Couldn't find a good image of the last one - Sam Rivers, FUCHSIA SWING SONG Quote
Eric Posted August 25, 2003 Report Posted August 25, 2003 (edited) While I know the title of the thread is not (your favorite Hank Mobley) BN cover, it has got to be this one. I have a 16x20 print of it and I LOVE looking at it. Pretty much says it all! Edited August 25, 2003 by Eric Quote
Jim R Posted August 25, 2003 Report Posted August 25, 2003 BN 1551- My first BN LP, and still probably my favorite cover. Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted August 25, 2003 Report Posted August 25, 2003 I can't show pictures, but my favorite might be Harold Vick, "Steppin' Out." That pretty much describes my musical tastes and personality as far as my friends are concerned. Quote
wolff Posted August 26, 2003 Report Posted August 26, 2003 Song For My Father/Horace Silver. First BN LP I bought and I have Mr. Silver's auotograph on the back. Quote
mikeweil Posted August 27, 2003 Author Report Posted August 27, 2003 If you can't post pictures, I'll gladly do it for you to complete the favourite Blue Note cover exhibition: And I beginn to like this one very much: Quote
BruceH Posted September 4, 2003 Report Posted September 4, 2003 Gotta go with DrJ on the above Thad Jones cover---a truly great one! Quote
