Originally recorded in 1957 but left unreleased until 1984, Curtain Call captures Hank Mobley at the height of his powers, leading an exceptional quintet featuring Kenny Dorham, Sonny Clark, Jimmy Rowser, and Art Taylor. The album showcases Mobley's lyrical tenor saxophone across a dynamic collection of hard bop originals and beloved standards, marked by interplay and vibrant swing that exemplify Blue Note's golden era.

This Tone Poet Series release highlights four standout Mobley compositions—including the driving title track and the extended “Don’t Get Too Hip”—alongside two elegant interpretations of jazz standards. Mastered from the original analog tapes, Curtain Call offers an immersive listening experience and stands as a must-hear entry in Mobley's celebrated Blue Note catalog.
