Part is due to the dire straits that mainstream jazz entered in the early seventies when soul and progressive pop took away most of the black and then the young intellectual audience and to compete those that survived in jazz played fusion. Part of this is due to the privacy of the man in a career that spanned thirty years, he is reliably reported to have given only three interviews. It is only through the gradual piecing together of his recorded output via legacy CD issues and reissues that the full extent of his contribution to jazz (and hard bop in particular) has been uncovered. Hank Mobley was extensively recorded by Blue Note in the 50's and 60's and yet his career ended in near obscurity.
