Mosaic Records Box Reviews
by C. Andrew Hovan
Since 1983, Mosaic Records has been at the forefront of the reissue market, dedicating themselves to definitive collections by both acknowledged jazz masters and neglected talents deserving of wider recognition.

Marvin Ayres: Neptune & Cellosphere
by John Kelman
When Brian Eno first began experimenting with tape loops, he may have known that he was creating something unique, but little did he realize how widely it would be embraced. Eno's primary intention with his Ambient music was to create something that would, rather than being intrusive, blend into the listener's overall aural landscape. Since his ...
Brian Eno: The Soundtracks Reissues
by John Kelman
While ex-Roxy Music keyboardist Brian Eno was establishing a distinctive and new style of music that he called Ambient Music--which investigated the potential of making music as an integral part of the listenerâïïs aural landscape--he was also finding ways to mold the concept, albeit in sometimes a more direct way, to integrate it with ...
Carsten Dahl/Arild Andersen/Patrice Heral: The Sign & Moon Water
by John Kelman
The ability to integrate real-time sampling into a rich improvisational setting has created something of a stir amongst certain jazz musicians, and is being accepted more and more as a legitimate and viable tool to broaden the musical palette.

Exposing the Cover Story Behind the Classics
by Mark Sabbatini

Wes and Ella: New VMEs
by David Rickert
Wes Montgomery Smokin' At the Half Note Verve 1965 Once Wes Montgomery signed with the Verve label, he didn't record much jazz. His last recordings were designed to generate hits rather than to showcase one of the most inventive and influential soloists in jazz. But records like Smokin' At the ...
