Durante a sua experiência com Miles Davis, os quatro álbuns de Hank Mobley para a Blue Note com Wynton Kelly e Paul Chambers são considerados os seus melhores trabalhos. Basta ouvir Workout para perceber porquê. Esta obra-prima de 1961 inclui o guitarrista Grant Green e o baterista Philly Joe Jones que, juntamente com o saxofonista tenor, cozinham o que se pode chamar de magia hard-bop.

"Workout is a Blue Note classic in every sense, from its recording by Rudy van Gelder to is cover photography by Francis Wolff. Label stalwarts Mobley and Grant Green, backed by an illustrious rhythm section, meld bebop and blues into pure hard bop, investing every note with soulful feeling." - Larry Birnbaum, Stereophile

"This is one of the best-known Hank Mobley recordings, and for good reason. Although none of his four originals ("Workout," "Uh Huh," "Smokin'," "Greasin' Easy") caught on, the fine saxophonist is in top form. He jams on the four tunes, plus "The Best Things in Life Are Free," with an all-star quintet of young modernists -- guitarist Grant Green, pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Philly Joe Jones -- and shows that he was a much stronger player than his then-current boss Miles Davis seemed to think." - Scott Yanow, All Music

During his stint with Miles Davis, Hank Mobley's four Blue Note sessions with band mates Wynton Kelly and Paul Chambers are considered his finest and most lyrical work. One listen to Workout, and you'll understand why. This 1961 masterwork also features guitarist Grant Green and drummer Philly Joe Jones, who, along with the tenor saxophonist, weave what can truly be called hard-bop magic. Listeners will be hard-pressed to find a more illustrative example of musical finesse, creativity, and swing.
