 "Goal! is the real reflection of today’s society and football: ambition, showbiz, glamour, and ostentation."

 A record of lights and slightly blurred lights.

 "Recado Bossa Nova" brings both Lee Morgan and Hank Mobley to unleash many of the best arrows they have at their disposal.

The review assesses Hank Mobley's album 'Dippin’' as a good but not groundbreaking Hard Bop record. Although the album includes strong performances from Mobley and Lee Morgan, the overall flow lacks a cohesive thread. Notable tracks like "Recado Bossa Nova" and "I See Your Face Before Me" provide contrast, but the album’s repetitiveness and static feel limit instant appeal. Jazz enthusiasts are encouraged to also explore Jackie McLean’s "Right Now!" for a more experimental experience. Listen to Hank Mobley's 'Dippin’' and explore classic Hard Bop grooves with vibrant performances from jazz greats.
