Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers – Mosaic (Vinyl LP, Blue Note Classic Series, 1962) – Mint/ Sealed

A powerhouse lineup of the Jazz Messengers—Freddie Hubbard, Curtis Fuller, Wayne Shorter, Cedar Walton and Jymie Merritt—driving hard bop with precision and fire. The recording moves between bold horn writing, rhythmic intensity and the tight, propulsive swing that defined Blakey’s groups at their peak. It’s a commanding, beautifully shaped session that captures the band’s cohesion and urgency.

Vinyl LP Mint and Sealed.
