MS-001 Mosaic Select: Grachan Moncur, Disc 3, "Hipnosis" session.

As has been discussed elsewhere on this board, this Select is as much a Jackie McLean set as it is Grachan Moncur.  

It's the first Select I purchased, and still one of my favorites.  Always hear something new every time I put it on.  Today, it's Billy Higgins' ride cymbal phrasing and comping (with the snares off) on "Hipnosis"... so good!!!

One of my favorite sets.

Thad never disappoints.

Now moving on to disc 3.  Motor City Scene  is the least familiar to me - most of the other music here I have or had on vinyl.
