Review: For a practitioner of bluesy hard-bop, Mabern has a solid pedigree. Here, the inestimably powerful, blues-fueled engine that drives Mabern’s most thrilling work gets alternately offset and emboldened by the contributions of his former students, plus his Miles Davis-era cohort Jimmy Cobb on drums.
