| George Benson : In Concert - Carnegie Hall |
| Featuring Hubert Laws, Ronnie Foster, Will Lee and Steve Gadd
This stellar live recording, made one year before the massive crossover success of Breezin' features the guitar master burning through Paul Desmond's "Take Five", Freddie Hubbard's soulful "Sky Dive", and two hard-grooving Benson originals. And although he had sung on record previously, his unique vocal approach to Gershwin's "Summertime" raises the bar considerably, clearly setting the stage for "This Masquerade", "On Broadway", and other hits.
This indispensable recording documents a landmark concert by an absolute genius at one of the world's great venues - finally back in print on Mosaic Contemporary, the home of the Best of the Best in Contemporary Jazz. |

| Kenny Burrell : Midnight Blue (Rudy Van Gelder Remaster) |
| Alfred Lion considered this his favorite production and well he should have. Without piano, Burrell, Stanley Turrentine and company get a clean open sound and a deep groove on such now classic compositions as the title tune and "Chitlins Con Carne", which has become a blues band staple. The CD includes two bonus tracks (# 8 & 9) from the actual session. |

| Grant Green : Complete Quartets With Sonny Clark |
| Over a five-week period in early 1962, Grant Green recorded three amazing quartet sessions with Sonny Clark on piano, Sam Jones on bass, and Louis Hayes or Art Blakey on drums. As magnificent as the results were, the three albums, considered too progressive for Green's soul-jazz following, languished in the vaults for 18 years. In 1980, "Airegin," the session with Blakey, came out in the United States, while the two with Hayes ("Gooden's Corner" and "Oleo") came out only in Japan. Later issued briefly on Mosaic with three bonus tracks, they have since become collectors' items of legendary proportions. Now Blue Note is finally making them available on this specially-priced 2-CD set. Some of the best music Grant Green ever recorded. |

| Time is suspended on these four haunting, extended tunes by this brilliant guitarist with Joe Henderson, Bobby Hutcherson, Duke Pearson, Bob Cranshaw and Al Harewood. Alternate versions of "Jean De Fleur" and "Django" have been added. This Blue Note classic is unique in Green's discography for its relaxed, lengthy performances and almost dream-like lyricism. |
