The Mosaic Sextet resembles a cross between a classical chamber ensemble and a free-jazz workshop. Though it rarely performs live, and records even less frequently, the ensemble has been together since 1987. The band's out-of-print first recording, 1988's TODAY, THIS MOMENT, is included on this double-disc set, along with a full disc of outtakes and unreleased material from those same sessions. The whole thing shines with the group's gift for combining improvisation with extended, classically influenced composition.
