 Rating:  - Epic Messengers This is one of the most soulful, driving recordings I have ever heard, bar none. I first owned a copy of Mosaic upon being mercifully turned on to it by a couple of hip peers back in 1981. I went looking for it again recently upon having a jazz revival of sorts, and was thrilled to see it being offered in CD reissue. Folks, this is epic music not only in terms of Art Blakey and his many personnel configurations through time but in terms of the history of jazz music itself in America. Everyone should own a copy of this album at some point to hear the sheer propulsion, emotional penetration, waterfalling chords, bountiful melodic content, utterly towering musical abilities of the sidemen as well as Buhaina (Blakey) himself, and the overall presence ...

Rating: - Hard, hard bopThis album deserves five stars. This is the hardest, meanest hard bop band ever, period. If you enjoyed 'Free for All' arguably the best hard bop album, you will love this one too. The same hard swinging, in your face, hard bop jazz is found here. Blakey' solo on Mosaic is worth the price of admission. Highly recommended. Rating: - Seeds of a masterpiece by a fantastic groupThis is the most recent reissue of "Mosaic," the first album by what is arguably the greatest edition of Art Blakey's jazz messengers. This band features Freddie Hubbard on trumpet, Wayne Shorter on tenor saxophone, Curtis Fuller on trombone, Cedar Walton on piano, Jymie Merritt on bass (he had not yet been replaced by Reggie Workman) and Art Blakey on drums. It was recorded in 1961. The differences between this edition of the Jazz Messengers and its predecessor (the other greatest edition, featuring Lee Morgan on trumpet and Bobby Timmons on piano, in addition to Shorter, Merritt, and Blakey) are evident from the very start of this album. Though the previous group had a lot of energy, this group takes the intensity up a level, both ... Read More: |
