From Wikipedia:
Henry "Hank" Mobley
(July 7, 1930 – May 30, 1986) was an American hard bop and soul jazz tenor
saxophonist and composer. Mobley was described by Leonard Feather as the
"middleweight champion of the tenor saxophone", a metaphor used to
describe his tone, that was neither as aggressive as John Coltrane nor as
mellow as Stan Getz, and his style that was laid-back, subtle and melodic,
especially in contrast with players like Sonny Rollins and Coltrane. The critic
Stacia Proefrock claimed he is "one of the most underrated musicians of
the bop era."
