Mobley had expanded his palette the year before on \u003cem\u003eA Slice of the Top\u003c\/em\u003e, an octet date featuring arrangements by \u003cstrong\u003eDuke Pearson\u003c\/strong\u003e, but \u003cem\u003eThird Season\u003c\/em\u003e felt like a return to a looser, small group feel despite the fact that it still featured a 7-piece band. Joining Mobley here are alto saxophonist \u003cstrong\u003eJames Spaulding\u003c\/strong\u003e, trumpeter \u003cstrong\u003eLee Morgan\u003c\/strong\u003e, guitarist \u003cstrong\u003eSonny Greenwich\u003c\/strong\u003e, pianist \u003cstrong\u003eCedar Walton\u003c\/strong\u003e, bassist \u003cstrong\u003eWalter Booker\u003c\/strong\u003e, and drummer \u003cstrong\u003eBilly Higgins\u003c\/strong\u003e. The 6-song set includes Morgan’s blues “The Steppin’ Stone,” but otherwise presents a diverse collection of Mobley’s originals including the hard-charging opener “An Aperitif,” laid-back swinger “Don’t Cry, Just Sigh,” breezy “Boss Bossa,” gospel-tinged boogaloo “Give Me That Feelin’,” and the intricate title track.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlue Note Tone Poet Series\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe Tone Poet Audiophile Vinyl Reissue Series was born out of Blue Note President Don Was’ admiration for the exceptional audiophile Blue Note LP reissues presented by Music Matters.
