The Max Roach Quartet featuring Hank Mobley was the debut album by American jazz drummer Max Roach featuring tracks recorded in 1953 and first released on the Debut label as a 10-inch LP.[ 1]
Allmusic awarded the album 3½ stars and its review by Scott Yanow states, "Drummer Max Roach's first studio session as a leader falls stylewise between bop and hard bop... The music is enjoyable although not as essential as the great drummer's later dates".[ 2]
