Hank Mobley (July 7, 1930 – May 30, 1986) was an influential American tenor saxophonist and composer. Renowned for his laid-back, melodic style, he was often regarded as the "middleweight champion of the tenor saxophone," offering a sound that balanced the intensity of players like John Coltrane with the subtlety of Lester Young. Though sometimes overlooked, Mobley is recognized as one of the most underrated musicians of the bop era. He is best known for his compositions such as "Soul Station," "Double Exposure," and "Dig Dis."
