Hank Mobley's later Blue Note sessions took on a much harder edge than his earlier efforts. The saxophonist's round tone became funkier as he delved deeper into the popular soul-jazz style that had been introduced with Lee Morgan's hit "The Sidewinder." THE TURNAROUND is one of Mobley's best releases of this period, offering many unforgettable solo moments as well as some intense small group workouts.
The obvious "Sidewinder" reference comes not only with Barry Harris and Billy Higgins, but also with the funky groove of the title track, a prerequisite with most mid-'60s Blue Note dates, but the remainder of the set features a well-rounded collection of hard bop styles. The aptly named "Straight Ahead" offers some of the hardest swinging of the date coupled with an excitingly intricate head section. In contrast, Mobley is at his smoky best on the moving ballad "My Sin." Freddie Hubbard, too, is exceptional throughout, coming in at his peak of performance. He and Mobley make an excellent front line, especially on the raucous closing cut "Pat 'N' Chat."
