Face of the Bass

I have for sale or trade the Andrew Hill and Charles Tolliver Mosaic Selects. If interested in buying, the price is $30 for each set, shipping in the US included. Both sets are in used but like-new condition. For international shipping rates, please contact me to arrange a price. I will only accept payments via Paypal. If you'd like to trade, send me a list of what you have available. I'd be willing to do a straight up Mosaic-for-Mosaic deal depending on the set, and also am right now looking for some 1960s Impulse cd reissues. Thanks!

I picked this book up on a whim last week and have been extremely impressed with it so far, about 50 pages in. The design and layout of the book are worth the price alone, but it also contains a lot of very interesting nuggets and anecdotes about the music, as well as the personalities behind the label. The best jazz book I've come across in the past couple years.

Perhaps I should listen to it again. It struck me as containing mostly throwaway material...easily my most disappointing Select purchase so far (I have about 7 or 8 of them).

Specific examples, please. Just listen to his own Blue Notes (compiled on the Chambers Mosaic Select) and you get lots of examples. I have listened to it many times. I was hoping you could list a specific solo that demonstrates the point you are trying to make, so I could evaluate for myself.

Hopefully this Hill Select will be better than the last one.

Specific examples, please.

Another blasphemer!!
