  Roll Call captures Hank Mobley at the height of his powers. The front line of Mobley and Freddie Hubbard generates plenty of excitement, but the album's real strength is its balance between muscular hard bop and melodic sophistication. Mobley's solos unfold with effortless logic, never rushed and never predictable. The title track is a Blue Note classic, while deeper cuts reveal just how strong a composer he was becoming. Few tenor-led sessions swing this hard while remaining this elegant.
