The Mosaic Records June 2010 magazine landed through my mail box today. On the front cover is a beaming Ahmad Jamal in button down, repp tie slightly loosened and top button open - now that's what I call immaculate Ivy tinged with hard-bop soulfullnes. Cool as fuck.

Someone else would call it "Sprezza".

The box set is due out the end of June beginning of July.

Mosaic, wasn't this the record label that CC refused Michael Cuscuna a link on his site, less he be associated with that damn backwoods music - jazz!? Before he realised it was something he could endlessly milk every six months with the same cheap copy about the sprezza of Miles Davis at Newport/Carnegie Hall/Blackhawk/at the Plaza/Berlin/Isle of Wight festival.
