Pekin' Time

Recorded in 1959 and released on Blue Note the following year, Peckin' Time is the result of one of those fine studio sessions featuring a bunch of jazz heavyweights. Here we have the perfect tandem of Hank Mobley on tenor sax and Lee Morgan on trumpet. Two great stylists in full shape, greatly backed by the ultra elastic rhythm section of Winton Kelly on piano, Paul Chambers on bass and Charlie Persip on drums. All true masters of the Bop vocabulary including all the possible variants from Blues to Latin. This very enjoyable album consists of all Mobley's originals except the beautiful rendition of Kurt Weil's classic "Speak Low".
