Louis Armstrong
The Complete Louis Armstrong Decca Sessions (1935-46) #243
Some of the performances are among the most significant of his life and a lasting gift to music - there isn't a trumpeter since who hasn't marveled at the brilliance of his tone, coherence of his soloing, and perfection of his execution on the 1938 "Struttin' With Some Barbecue." It is, plain and simple, a flawless record. - Limited Edition: 10000 Copies

7 CDs - $119.00

Anthony Braxton
The Complete Arista Recordings of Anthony Braxton (#242)
What made Braxton's output at Arista (1974-80) so unique was the range of projects he was able to realize thanks to the supportive budgets of a major label. This 8-CD set rescues his entire 13-LP Arista output from forgotten vaults. - Limited Edition: 5000 Copies

8 CDs - $136.00

John Carter & Bobby Bradford
Mosaic Select: John Carter & Bobby Bradford (MS-036)
John Carter and Bobby Bradford's music was very much in the same orbit as Ornette Coleman’s with darting linear compositions and freedom from chordal structures blended into a marvelous fresh sense of swing and blues roots. - Limited Edition: 5,000 Copies

3 CDs - $44.00

Bing Crosby
The Bing Crosby CBS Radio Recordings (1954-56) (#245)
The 160 songs in this Mosaic collection were recorded with the Buddy Cole Quartet between 1954 and 1956 for Bing’s CBS show are absolutely revelatory. Crosby’s early jazz roots informed his influential career as a pop singer. To our knowledge, these are the only recorded performances of Crosby singing the Great American Songbook in an informal atmosphere with a consummate small jazz ensemble. - Limited Edition: 20,000 Copies

John Handy
Mosaic Select: John Handy
Handy's playing, on alto sax in particular, is a wonder with a beautiful "legit" sound, perfect intonation and articulation, and an extraordinary control of the upper register which he uses quite often in building excitement and intensity in his solos. He utilizes all of these extraordinary attributes in frequent lengthy and compelling acappella solos. His unending flow of fresh ideas seemingly devoid of licks is another striking characteristic of his work

Ahmad Jamal
The Complete Ahmad Jamal Trio Argo Sessions (#246)
Ahmad Jamal's recording as a piano trio leader on Argo, owned by Chicago's Chess recording label, began in 1956. And that's where our new retrospective begins on The Complete Ahmad Jamal Trio Argo Sessions 1956-62. The first definitive collection of his work from this seminal era of his career, it includes all the tunes for which Jamal became renowned, such as “Ahmad's Blues,” “Poinciana,” “But Not For Me,” and “Billy Boy,” a song so often re-done in Jamal's style that his version has almost become the new standard. - Limited Edition: 5,000 Copies

9 CDs - $149.00

Thelonious Monk

Artie Shaw
Classic Artie Shaw Bluebird And Victor Sessions (#244)
An improviser and technician of the highest order, Shaw’s inventions were a never-ending stream of melodic perfection cradled by a tone that was as full as any a clarinetist could wish for. To offer the finest sound possible, we've located the original metal parts and pristine vinyl test pressings from the Victor and Bluebird vault. - Limited Edition: 5000 Copies

Denny Zeitlin
Mosaic Select: Denny Zeitlin
Three magnificent studio albums have been gathered into one Mosaic Select with 12 previously unissued tunes from the sessions. Denny flew to New York to select the unissued material and remix all the music from the original 3- and 4-track tapes with Mark Wilder. The sonic results are a dramatic improvement over the original LPs.
