Description
An excellent original Blue Note pressing of one of the greatest hard bop albums ever recorded.
Released in 1962, Mosaic introduced one of the strongest Jazz Messengers line-ups ever assembled, featuring Freddie Hubbard, Wayne Shorter, Curtis Fuller, Cedar Walton and Jymie Merritt alongside the incomparable Art Blakey. Recorded by Rudy Van Gelder and produced by Alfred Lion, the album is renowned for its explosive dynamics and outstanding musicianship.
This copy features the desirable RVG-stamped matrices:
- BN-LP-4090 A1 RVG
- BN-LP-4090 B RVG
The RVG stamp confirms mastering by Rudy Van Gelder, whose original Blue Note cuts are widely regarded among the finest sounding jazz pressings ever produced.
A superb opportunity to own an original Blue Note pressing of one of Art Blakey's defining recordings.
