The Turnaround! is an album by jazz tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley recorded on March 7, 1963 and on February 4, 1965. It was released in 1965 by Blue Note Records.[2] It features performances by Mobley with trumpeter Donald Byrd, pianist Herbie Hancock, bassist Butch Warren and drummer Philly Joe Jones from the earlier session and trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, pianist Barry Harris, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Billy Higgins from the latter.

The 1989 CD edition did not correspond to the original LP, instead omitting the 1963 session and collecting the February 5, 1965 session for the first time. The 2000 CD edition restored the sequence of the original LP.

It was released in November 2014 in Japan on a limited SHM-CD that consisted of the original LP sequence, two tracks from the 1963 session that had been included in the CD edition of Straight No Filter, and the remaining tracks from the 1965 session.

Reception

The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4 stars, stating: "In all this is a solid date, despite its time lapse, and one that gives us a solid picture of the two Mobleys."[3]
