WEEDS/MARRIOTT QUINTET - TRIBUTE TO HANK AND THE TRUMPETS
featuring CORY WEEDS tenor saxophone, THOMAS MARRIOTT trumpet, ROSS TAGGART piano, JODI PROZNICK bass and MATT JORGENSEN drums

As one of the founding members of the original Jazz Messengers, tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley was part of a brilliant innovation. Bebop's second generation of players had pulled the music into a tailspin of virtuosity. But there was a new inspirational sound taking hold, with roots in gospel and blues. By combining the best of bebop with the soulful new thing springing up, Horace Silver, Art Blakey, Kenny Dorham, Hank Mobley and Doug Watkins fashioned a sound with a percussive, street feel inspired by the hot steam grates and pavement they walked, the propulsive drive of the lives they were leading.
The world came to know it as hard bop. It was the sound of its day, and it codified what came to be called the 'Blue Note sound.'
Hank Mobley became a key player in the Blue Note orbit at a point when his particular skills and the emerging format for studio jazz recording were in a most complimentary zone. The sidemen reads like a 'Who's Who of Hard Bop.' The musicians who participated in one or more of Hank's nine `50s sessions include Donald Byrd, Lee Morgan, Kenny Dorham, Art Farmer, Sonny Clark, Horace Silver, Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers, Philly Joe Jones and Art Blakey.

"It's a very high level of communication and comfort that we have going in this band."
