Hank Mobley - my dark secret comes out!


I show my wife the cover to Hank Mobley's 'Thinking of Home', another great one from Blue Note. (They put out a book of their covers and I am kicking myself for not buying it.)

She says to the babies -I think your dad has a man-crush on Hank Mobley.

Not denying the man-crush since he is one of my favourite sax players, I add -And it's got Woody Shaw on trumpet!

-All you need is your guy on bass...

(She means Paul Chambers, which you would know if you've been reading along.)  -This has someone named Mickey Bass on bass. I've never heard of him.

We feed the babies their dinner and put them to bed. Another lovely day of marital bliss, babies and jazz
