Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating Allmusic [2]
Breakthrough! Cedar Walton /Hank Mobley Quintet recorded on February 22, 1972, originally released on the short-lived Cobblestone label and later reissued on Muse . It features performances by Mobley and Walton with baritone saxophonist Charles Davis , bassist Sam Jones , and Mobley’s longtime drummer Billy Higgins . This was Mobley's final studio recording before retiring due to health issues.
Reception [ edit ] The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states: "As strong as pianist Cedar Walton plays on his session, the main honors are taken by two of his sidemen. Tenor-saxophonist Hank Mobley, whose career was about to go into a complete eclipse, is in brilliant form, showing how much he had grown since his earlier days. Baritonist Charles Davis, who too often through the years has been used as merely a section player, keeps up with Mobley and engages in a particularly memorable tradeoff on the lengthy title cut. Mobley is well-showcased on 'Summertime,' Davis switches successfully to soprano on 'Early Morning Stroll,' and Walton (with the trio) somehow turns the 'Theme From Love Story' into jazz. Highly recommended".[3]
