Shortly after leaving Count Basie’s Orchestra, tenor saxophonist Frank Foster led this quintet set for Prestige, which in 1997 was reissued on CD in the Original Jazz Classics series. Foster shows off the influence of John Coltrane (as opposed to his earlier cool-toned style) and matches well with the occasionally fiery trumpet of Virgil Jones, pianist Albert Dailey, bassist Bob Cunningham and drummer Alan Dawson. In addition to Fats Waller’s “Jitterbug Waltz,” Foster performs five originals, some of which (like “Raunchy Rita”) fall into the area of funky hard bop. Spirited music.

1 Raunchy Rita (Foster)  5:28
2 Janie Huk (Foster)  11:16
3 Thingaroo (Foster)  3:30
4 Baby Ann (Foster)  6:00
5 Jitterbug Waltz (Maltby, Fats Waller)  9:20
6 Disapproachment (Foster)  5:46

This is one of the best-known Hank Mobley recordings, and for good reason. Although none of his four originals (“Workout,” “Uh Huh,” “Smokin’,” “Greasin’ Easy”) caught on, the fine saxophonist is in top form. He jams on the four tunes, plus “The Best Things in Life Are Free,” with an all-star quintet of young modernists — guitarist Grant Green, pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Philly Joe Jones — and shows that he was a much stronger player than his then-current boss Miles Davis seemed to think. This recommended CD reissue adds a version of “Three Coins in the Fountain” from the same date, originally released on Another Workout, to the original LP program.

1 Workout (Mobley) 10:00
2 Uh Huh (Mobley) 10:45
3 Smokin’ (Mobley) 7:28
4 The Best Things in Life Are Free (Brown, DeSylva, Henderson) 5:16
5 Greasin’ Easy (Mobley) 6:59
6 Three Coins in the Fountain (Cahn, Styne) 5:25
