Newark 1953 is a 2-CD set by American jazz saxophonist Hank Mobley recorded in September 1953 but released only in 2012 via Uptown Records label.[2] This collection is billed as his earliest-known recordings.[3] However, The Max Roach Quartet featuring Hank Mobley was recorded for the Debut label in April 1953.
The tracks were recorded live at The Piccadilly Club, New Jersey, on Monday, September 28, 1953, by Newark native Ozzie Cadena, who would join Savoy a year later as a producer.[4]
