Novus & Columbia Recordings of Henry Threadgill ...
http://www.mosaicrecords.com/prodinfo.asp?number=247-MD-CD Talk to Henry Threadgill about the influences in his music, and he is drawn to talk about food. Or patterns of light in the sky.

The Complete Ahmad Jamal Trio Sessions 1956-62
To purchase: http://www.mosaicrecords.com/prodinfo.asp?number=246-MD-CD The mid fifties was a fertile time for jazz; fresh, original ensembles were taking shape all over the country.
