Henry (Hank) Mobley (July 7, 1930 – May 30, 1986) was an American hard bop and soul jazz tenor saxophonist. Mobley was described by Leonard Feather as the "middleweight champion of the tenor saxophone", a metaphor used to describe his tone that was neither as aggressive as John Coltrane nor as mellow as Stan Getz. This description however was translated by jazz connoisseurs as though Mobley was mediocre. And as his style was laid-back, subtle and melodic, especially in contrast with players like Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane, it took connoisseurs until after his demise to fully appreciate his genius.

Mobley was born in Eastman, Georgia. He was an original member of the Jazz Messengers, then joined Horace Silver's group when Silver left the Messengers.

The results of these sessions were released as Horace Silver and the Jazz Messengers.

"I wrote a whole movie in Paris. It was about the French-Algerian war, and I wrote Algerian music and French music, back and forth. Then I came back and recorded it for Blue Note, and they didn't put it out. I had some of the same people I was playing with in New York- Cedar (Walton), Billy (Higgins), Bob Cranshaw, Curtis Fuller, Freddie Hubbard..."
