 Mosaic Records - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mosaic records is an American specialist jazz record label, founded in 1983 by Michael Cuscuna and Charlie Louris to issue coherent limited edition box sets (initially on LP) of jazz recordings by individual musicians, which had fallen out of print or suffered neglect.
The sets would be leased from the major record companies, usually for a three or five year period, with the edition limited to a specific number of copies.
By the beginning of the new century, over a hundred sets had been issued (the earlier sets' leases have expired) and Mosaic, by now 50% owned by Capitol Records, continues to give gratification to jazz aficionados.

 Stereophile: Charlie Lourie, Co-Founder of Mosaic Records, Dead at 60
Mosaic was unique among jazz labels in that it was run by and for informed, serious jazz fans.
Mosaic editions typically bring together all of the existing recordings of a jazz artist during a particular time period (or recorded for a specific label), presenting them in chronological order, including alternate takes and miscues from the original recording sessions.
Mosaic recordings are accompanied by museum-quality booklets that include authoritative essays by jazz historians and critics, running to 10,000 words, comprehensive discographic information—often presented for the first time—and the fl and white photography of some of the finest jazz photographers (principally Francis Wolff), printed on coated paper stock from the original negatives.

They could at least have waited till the Mosaic and Capitol Jazz releases had run their course, for heaven's sake.

In any case, the Mosaic box is the only release that will give you the entire 72 Peggy Lee transcriptions (along with 27 additional numbers by June Christy).

His answer was that she had recorded too much second-rate material with too many alternate takes for Mosaic to even consider it.
Alas, from what I read years ago on a list-serv, this includes 49 Decca-owned transcriptions (that is, recordings such as the ones released by Mosaic, but from the 1950s instead of the 1940s),
: which were in the process of being issued just around the time when the lawsuit happened.

 Mosaic Records Announces The Release Of The Complete Verve Tal Farlow Sessions   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Mosaic Records proudly announces the release of The Complete Verve Tal Farlow Sessions, a 7-CD set that covers the guitarist's output on the Verve, Norgran and Decca labels from 1952 to 1959.
Most of Farlow's work as a leader was for Verve Records, and all of it is collected for the first time in Mosaic's The Complete Verve Tal Farlow Sessions, when Farlow was at his peak.
These recordings for Verve are a clear example of why a wide variety of guitarists to this day cite Tal Farlow as a major influence.

 Jazz News :: Mosaic Records Announces The Release Of The Complete Roulette Dinah Washington Recordings
Over the next 20 months, she would record 93 songs for the label, 86 of which would be scattered over 8 albums.
Coming when these recordings did, after a lifetime on the road, there is particular poignancy to such songs as “A Stranger on Earth” and “Nobody Knows The Way I Feel This Morning.” And you could say she was finally uniquely qualified to sing a love-gone-wrong song, after seven marriages and many romances in between.
Her recordings on Roulette display all of the power and intelligence of her earliest successes with an undisputable maturity that is the sign of a remarkable singer joining the ranks of the greats.

A fire at Atlantic Records in 1979 that destroyed countless studio recordings in storage “made me realize that there was an urgency to deal with this kind of rare material before other tragedies occurred,” he said.
Mosaic Records (www.mosaicrecords.com) grew out of what Cuscuna found in the Blue Note records vaults in the early 1980s—nearly 30 minutes of prime modern-jazz piano from Thelonious Monk that Cuscuna proposed be coupled with other Blue Note recordings to make a boxed set of “complete” works.
Capitol Records, the parent company of Blue Note, balked at the idea, but gave Cuscuna and Charlie Lourie, an enthusiastic marketing executive, permission to put out the recordings on their own.

 CD review: "The Complete Candid Otis Spann/Lightnin' Hopkins Sessions"
Mosaic's latest release is a departure, as it features two blues artists – Otis Spann and Lightnin' Hopkins.
A fine guitarist who has made some stellar recordings on his own, on these sessions Lockwood is out of tune for several cuts, out of rhythm for most of the rest, and generally out of sync.
In any case, Mosaic's catalog alone is worth getting if only to hate them for all the great music you now know about and can't afford to buy.

From Mosaic’s beginnings in 1983 the company has focused on producing comprehensive boxed sets that document periods or styles of music from either specific artists or record labels.
What I also appreciate as a Jazz Collector is that the Mosaic releases have always represented a great investment: The company produces limited editions of all its releases (with one or two exceptions) and once the designated number of copies are sold, that’s it, no more are released.
The recordings themselves have been beautifully remastered by Malcom Addey and the sound compares favorably to that which you’ll find on the original LP releases.
