5.0 out of 5 stars Masterpiece, January 19, 2000

This album is a confluence of four great voices on one record, an amazing clash and melding of styles. An absolute must for any fan of any of these great players, and Hank Mobley, the most underatted of the four, shines like never before.

"Tenor Conclave," 1956, brings together four top tenors of contrasting styles: Coltrane, Hank Mobley, Zoot Sims, and Al Cohn. The result is a feast for serious tenor fans. And the three "other tenors" hold their own with Coltrane. Underappreciated Hank Mobley is particularly outstanding. His soft, subtle bop lines are a nice foil to Coltrane. Zoot and Al, Prez disciples, offer a further contrast. All four are in top form. A wonderful CD.
