Mosaic first introduced what is among the finest lineups of the acclaimed Jazz Messengers Band, with Wayne Shorter (Tenor Saxophone), Freddie Hubbard (Trumpet), Curtis Fuller (Trombone), Cedar Walton (Piano) and Jymie Merritt (Bass). The powerhouse ensemble is incredibly versatile, as it features all members contributing blazing and dynamic solos as well as inventive compositions. Mosaic is an essential piece of the Art Blakey catalog.
