A benchmark album in Hank Mobley’s superb mid-1960s output, Dippin’ featured the great tenor
saxophonist in a quintet with Lee Morgan on trumpet, Harold
Mabern Jr. on piano, Larry Ridley on
bass, and Billy Higgins on drums for a six-song set spanning boogaloo,
bossa nova, ballads, and bop.
This
stereo Tone Poet Vinyl Edition was produced by Joe
Harley, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original analog master tapes, pressed on
180g vinyl at RTI, and packaged in a deluxe tip-on gatefold jacket.
