Hank Mobley´s solo on Tenor Conclave is a text book example of playing Bebop language over Rhythm changes. It is full of beautiful voice leading, chromatic approaches, reharmonizations and the coolest Jazz vocabulary.
In this resource we go deep in to every phrase and how the notes relate to the harmony, basically we look at the DNA of the lines!
Learning how to analyse and digest great Jazz solos will improve your playing dramatically

What is/are Rhythm Changes?
In Jazz, Rhythm changes is the name given to a very common chord pro-gression that is vital to know for the following reasons:
1) It is one of the core Chord progressions that many Jazz standards are built on
2) The Rhythm changes sequence of chords is fundamentally important to study deeply as the harmonic progression is one of the most foundational ones any serious student of Jazz will ever learn.
Thank you for submitting a review!
Your input is very much appreciated. Share it with your friends so they can enjoy it too!
I would also like to have an explanation of the other two choruses. Thank you
This was such an extraordinary deep dive journey into the language of Hank Mobley presented so thoroughly! I would gladly recommend folks learning improvisation to check this out and practice these amazing lines with Nick’s excellent explanation and guidance ! Regards, Glenn Firester
Nick's Materials are always fantastic. They are well thought out and presented. You can tell he puts a lot of time into the presentation and supporting materials. I've always found his materials well worth the price. As a Music teacher of 27 years and performer of more than 40 years I always get a lot from his materials. Thanks for your effort and keep up the good work Nick.
Great package of information and analysis. Hours of study material to digest.
Great; loads to think about and apply.
I use this hank Mobley ryt changes as a warmup up piece when practicing, gets the articulation and fingers going,
I need to get more deeply in, it would be helpful if it were an octave lower in the range of where the tenor actually sounds. I have an easier time reading below the staff than above on my instrument:-)
I am still studying this transcription, and it will take me quite a while to complete it (if ever... :-)). However, at this early stage I already agree that is is a treasure of great ideas, filled with musical nuggets that warrant mining. Playing convincingly over Rhythm Changes is amongst my most pressing weaknesses in my playing, so I more or less stopped my other practicing activities to concentrate on this solo by Hank Mobley, who is one of my favorite sax players. The only thing would appreciate is that as a guitar player I would be happy about guitar tabs and fingering suggestions like you have supplied it for some other items. All the best from Austria, Andreas.
