Jazz Crusaders: The Pacific Jazz Quintet Studio Sessions
by C. Andrew Hovan

Charles Tolliver: Mosaic Select: Charles Tolliver
by Javier AQ Ortiz
As a musician, Charles Tolliver almost has it all. He has gained international respect from critics and peers, as well as a grateful and patient sliver of the market that purchases his scant recordings as a leader and attends his infrequent presentations. Thus Tolliver, because of his unprolific discography and absence from the market as a ...
Andrew Hill: Mosaic Select
by George Harris
After having previously released all of Andrew Hill's 1963-66 work in a seven-CD set, and doling out previously unreleased gems from the Blue Note vaults one at a time, producer Michael Cuscuna has scraped every last piece of remaining music that Hill's fertile mind recorded for Alfred Lion and put it in this limited box set. ...

by George Harris
Don Pullen, with his heart firmly rooted in gospel, bop and blues, and with his hands grasping on to free-form dissonance, was one of the very last truly original jazz pianists.

Curtis Amy: Mosaic Select 7
by Colin Fleming
Relatively unknown as far as storming tenor players go, Texas-born Curtis Amy perhaps wasn't so storming after all, as this set suggests. Familiar to rock fans for his solo on the Doors' “Touch Me, Amy was more restrained, more a player of shadings and touch, than his reputation and birthright might lead one to believe. These ...
Duke Pearson: Mosaic Select 8
by Colin Fleming
While even the most successful attempts at blending jazz with bossa nova rarely result in a form of musical expression that moves beyond the tendencies of either, here is a style that does just that--an exploratory music we can confidently term the innovations of Duke Pearson. Compiled from the pianist's late sixties Blue Note ...
