The Jazz Gazette is a free, monthly publication of Mosaic Records. It is a wonderful newsletter which features stories and photographs about a wide range of jazz luminaries created by some of the finest jazz writers and columnists. They typically examine an aspect or period of the jazz artist(s) featured coupled with soundtracks to illuminate their points. For instance, the latest issue offers stories about Lester Young, Count Basie, Bobby Sherwood, Cab Calloway, Elvin Jones, Bobby Hutcherson, the film Round Midnight, and Greg Osby—quite an eclectic mix! This is jazz musicology at its finest. As a product of the magnificent Mosaic Record company, one is also kept apprised of the latest offerings of that company’s products.

P.S. Mosaic Record’s co-founder, Michael Cuscuna, recently passed away. The entire jazz community owes him a great deal of gratitude for his discovery of the hundreds of unissued and reissued recordings from Blue Note and other labels that he was able to produce. The excellence and professionalism that has accompanied every Mosaic product was largely due to his curiosity and attention to detail. RIP.
