Jazz OTD: "No Room For Squares" was definitely the best title in tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley's discography, and possibly the best album too (among fierce competition). He recorded most of it on October 2, 1963 with Lee Morgan (tp), Andrew Hill (p), John Ore (b), and Philly Joe Jones (d). #jazzsky

"I think one of the beautiful things about art, in general, is that it provokes a personal experience. You look at a beautiful painting of some kind and each person will have different emotional responses to it. And the same with music." Happy Birthday Dave Holland born 1 October 1946

"My first inspiration was Oscar Pettiford. He became my main focus on the bass. The way he could follow a tune and his solo work. Ellington was playing and Oscar Pettiford took a solo and that was it. I couldn't get over that." - Malachi Favors Happy Birthday Oscar Pettiford born September 30, 1922
