Zach Bartholomew: Blues, Bop & Soul: Hank Mobley’s Soul Station Featuring Jeff Ellwood

If anyone ever earned the title “Mr. Blue Note,” it was tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley. With his smooth tone, soulful phrasing, and effortlessly swinging style, Mobley became a defining voice of the hard bop era, often called the “middleweight champion of the tenor saxophone” for his perfect balance of fire and finesse.

In this high-energy concert, award-winning pianist Zach Bartholomew teams with renowned saxophonist Jeff Ellwood in a tribute to Mobley’s classic 1960 Blue Note release, Soul Station, a landmark album hailed as one of the finest of Mobley’s career. The program also features original compositions by Bartholomew, inspired by the album’s bluesy grooves, funky rhythms, and lyrical sophistication.

A must-see evening of hard-swinging jazz that bridges past and present—perfect for fans of straight-ahead, soulful, and timeless sounds.
