 hank mobley is the best musician that jazz ever produced; his talent is mind-boggeling. (especially his "best of hank mobley, the blue note years" alblum - 1996)

 I love Hank Mobley. His recordings are so unique. I like his works with Kenny Dorham and the jazz messengers especially live at the Cafe Bohemia.

 I have enjoyed Hank Mobley's playing for many years.
I especially enjoy his playing on Miles Davis
"Live at Carnagie Hall".

 I did my college thesis on Hank.
I was amazed when I started researching at the lack of written info about this giant of jazz (only one Downbeat article and a depressing postumous Musician article) His
albums are classics and his writing soulful and interesting, unfortunately he lived the 'jazz" life and tragically self destructed.

 I met hank Mobley in 1979 in Washington DC. It was August 17th. He was married to an Italian woman named Denesch, or something like that. she was a beautiful, brilliant woman. I would love to get in contact with her. We were discussing some very important things during our meeting. all these years later, they are more clear to me then they were in 1979. could anyone tell me how to contact her? Thank you. Pat

 Hi To Hank Mobley Fans and Friends. Some friends of mine put the information on the net about Hank Mobley on the net for me. His wife, or at least the woman he was with at the time I visited them, was named Darice. I can't remember her last name if it was not Mobley. I spent an entire weekend with them at their home in Washington. D.C. I am trying to locate Darice. She was a beautiful, Italian woman; much younger than Hank. She and I worked for Junior Achievement and that's how we got acquainted. I spent an entire weekend meeting famous musicians. Hank was an incredible person who was responsible for changing my life forever. I would appreciate any information that might be available concerning his former wife Darice. She was much younger than Hank. I have tried, unsuccessfully,to get in touch for several years. I was stunned to learn of Hank's death. I would still like to learn of Darice's whereabouts. He was previously married to an English woman and they had two daughters. I may have some unusual information to exchange. Can anyone out there help me?

 I have a friend, Cootie Harris, a drummer who is originally from Newark that jammed with Hank in the early 50's. He thinks I sound something like him (my tone is too bright). Is there any information on the setups he used? I know he used a Super 20 in the mid 50's and a Balanced Action in the 60's. The Balanced has a darker, more sonorous tone than the modern horns. I know that he used Otto Links, rubber and metal. Any info would be helpful.
