Photographer: Francis Wolff. No Hank Mobley collection would be complete without STRAIGHT NO FILTER, a gathering of extra cuts from many of his mid '60s Blue Note sessions. The first three tracks come from a 1966 session, next are two cuts from Mobley's THE TURNAROUND session, the third session was originally cut for the classic NO ROOM FOR SQUARES, and finally, two tracks are culled from a 1963 date. As expected, the music is vibrant, energetic, and swinging. The unifying element, of course, is Mobley's muscular, round tone. He swings hard throughout and rips off one strong solo after another. This collection is notably made up entirely of Mobley's original compositions, reminding us of his equally great hard bop writing skills. In the end, these formerly superfluous tracks give us an even more complete picture of a hard bop giant.
