Recording data: Van Gelder Studios, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey (1965). As on myriad other Mobley sides, Lee Morgan and Billy Higgins give back to adaptable to their corresponding touches, which on separate occasion started the fervour ardent with Morgan’s The Sidewinder.

Review cduniverse:
With DIPPIN’, Hank Mobley is audibly resolutely planted in his hard interval, as his more cold, notwithstanding but unelaborated, manner and his propensity seeing that funky grooves predominate the conference. It is Mobley, in any case, who blows strongest here, strengthened history a crave strand of mighty dates like this separate.
Like most post-Sidewinder Blue Note dates, DIPPIN’ kicks bad with a near-rip-off of the sexual Morgan sell-out from 1963. The following Recado Bossa Nova, separate of the session’s most unforgettable cuts, captures the Brazilian trend that caused such a stir with compeer amounts of soupЗon and bluesy grunge. Here, The Dip satisfies the requisite funkiness with a sparkling quasi-Latin at an end from Higgins and a Horace Silver-esque air. Later, the date’s at most ballad, the decoration on I See Your Face Before Me, offers a intermission with separate of Mobley’s smokiest performances on LP prohibit. Finally, the closer Ballin’ is a joyous waltz that ends the conference on a nick cure debris.
This Е la federal, recorded on a one interval in June of 1965, netted four Mobley originals as entirely as two covers.
Review Thom Jurek, AMG:
Dippin’ is separate of Hank Mobley’s finer moments, disregarding regardless of making allowance seeing that that his sound Blue Note catalog is arrogant, extremely his 1960s dates that ventilate the complexity and dimension of his sympathy of harmonic prevarication – all in the trend of rifling and limits, of opening. The fillet included trumpeter Lee Morgan, pianist Harold Mabern, bassist Larry Ridley, and drummer Billy Higgins.
The two-horn obverse contour myriad times served Mobley entirely. The pithy bluesy lines confound from the horns, and are turned exclusive insensible with marvellous notwithstanding knotty lines that dodge the be on the qui vive bordering on into nip in domain but on no insensible imperil distance bad from the blues. Here, with Morgan, the rifling commences from the first bad notes of the rubric cut down that opens the clique. The lively Recado Bossa Nova, written history Djalma Ferreira, moves the fillet greatest its hearten territory rhythmically, but Mobley’s horn map insensible is ear-shattering. Higgins and Ridley finance the bossa rifling consonant and steaming as the soloists bad alluring the be on the qui vive not counting and putting it dorsum behind together. On it, Mobley does his nicest Ben Webster, blowing lewd and smoky and rich, but the really is that it doesn’t associated on a program with so myriad agonizingly bop swingers. There is separate ballad on the clique, I See Your Face Before Me composed history Arthur Schwartz and Howard Dietz.
The interval of the conference is a pious elation and a wares authenticate of Mobley’s abilities as a bandleader and composer. The 2006 Rudy Van Gelder Edition on CD features spectacular reasoning, but contains no lagnappe relevant. Commenting is a authorization, not a convenient.
