Mosaic Selects
Ltd. Edition 3 CD Sets
Running Low



“While Mosaic never does wrong, this set is absolutely perfect. Three CDs of Andrew Hill, almost all of it previously unheard by the public. While these sessions probably sat in the vaults to lack of commercial viability at the time, they are every bit as good as Hill's contemporary Blue Note releases that have been released. Some of the lineups are chock full of heavy hitter sidemen- Sam Rivers, Lee Morgan, Woody Shaw, etc. Overall the set is a good indicator of the diversity of Hill's compositonal ideas in the late 60s. He is heard in large group settings, trio settings, and most amazingly working with a string quartet. I find the string quartet sessions to be the most remarkable on the set.” - Customer Review


Mosaic Select: Andrew Hill


"A remarkable burst of creativity over a two week span. Of course the Chet Baker reunion is marvelous. The Vinnie Burke strings are a great complement to Mulligan. I have to admit I was a bit worried about it. To be honest, while I love Gerry, I really bought this set for the Annie Ross session. Just fantastic! Her version of "I Feel Pretty" was worth the price for me. Transcendent.” - Customer Review


Mosaic Select: Gerry Mulligan


“ I've been purchasing Mosaic sets since the 90s and this is among my top five. Tyner's vision comes into focus on these sessions--powerful piano, extended modal songs, Eastern influences, and beautiful melodies. Remastering is top-notch as are the sidemen throughout.” - Customer Review


Mosaic Select: McCoy Tyner

“This is such a great session. It is still so surprising that this lineup of the Messengers is overlooked and underrated. This lineup deserves to be heralded as one of Blakey's best alongside the Golson/Morgan/Timmons/Merritt '58 and the Shorter/Hubbard/Fuller/Walton/Merritt or Workman '61-'64 lineups. And, of course, this set has all of Mosaic's usual exemplary production hallmarks.” - Customer Review


Art Blakey - Hard Bop


“ The mastering on this disc is fantastic. Excellent sonic clarity all around. That, combined with Lloyd's great sense of melody and forward-thinking songwriting make for a satifsying listening experience. Lloyd's cool and progressive style is a joy, and the interplay between all the band members is superb. Tony Williams was one of the funkiest jazz drummers around, too! Buy this and you will find yourself seeking out more Charles Lloyd. Not to be missed! ” - Customer Review

Charlie Haden and the Liberation Music Orchestra

From Charlie Haden and his Liberation Music Orchestra, on its 1987 tour, comes this fervent rendition of Nkosi Sikeleh Afrika, the South African hymn adopted as pan-African liberation anthem. What a band: Paul Motian, Dewey Redman, Joe Lovano, Geri Allen and Ken McIntyre among them; a formidable assemblage of Charlie Haden’s partners in musical and moral commitment.

Saxophone Summit: Brecker, Lovano and Liebman Play Coltrane

Everyone is on fire in this 1999 webcast of three contemporary tenor saxophonists re-igniting John Coltrane’s Locomotion. The rhythm section, Phil Markowitz, Rufus Reid and in particular, Billy Hart, nearly set off Birdland’s sprinkler system, too. Many thanks to the Jazz Video Guy, Bret Primack.

Joe Lovano on his latest: Us Five

Joe Lovano perennially seems to be working on something new. His latest: his Us Five band that grew out of two drummers, bassist Esperanza Spalding and now, guitarist Lionel Loueke. It’s easy to forget that Lovano has been at an elevated level of play for a long time. In this interview with Larry Bluemenfeld, Lovano gently recalls his early days with Paul Motian — a collaboration that spanned close to three decades.

Joe Lovano & Joshua Redman: Live At SFJAZZ

Joshua Redman and Joe Lovano got together during the opening week festivities at the new SFJazz to stretch out on Lovano’s tribute to the late drummer Ed Blackwell, “Blackwell’s Message.” Lovano and Redman first recorded this piece 20 years ago on Joe’s “Tenor Legacy” album. Based on this footage, these guys should definitely be doing more together.

Why Joe Lovano loved Hank Jones

This Bret Primack interview with saxophonist Joe Lovano is sweet testimony to Lovano’s affection for his musical partnership with Hank Jones, and indeed, Hank’s brothers, Thad and Elvin. Thanks to Peter Blasevick for reviving this eloquent account.

Sound Prints Quintet: Live At The Village Vanguard

I suppose it was inevitable (as well as desirable) that two of the most creative and ubiquitous jazz artists to emerge in the ‘80s would end up sharing a bandstand. Dave Douglas and Joe Lovano collaborated on the Sound Prints Quintet, captured live at the Village Vanguard on November 28 by WBGO, Newark. The band is as wonderful and adventurous as one might imagine

"Brown’s solos, which marry the technical mastery of Dizzy Gillespie, the melodic flow and big sound of Fats Navarro, and a determined optimism all Brown’s own, became touchstones for a generation of young trumpeters; but Roach’s contributions are equally important and made a similar impact." - Bob Blumenthal, liner notes
