I'm looking for a .jpg (or any other format) of the cover of Andrew Hill's Mosaic Select box, preferably somewhere around 500 x 500 dpi, for use in my iTunes library. I can only find smaller sizes online, and I don't have a scanner to scan the cover myself.

No problem... plus, it gave me a good reason to give it another spin! This is one of my favorite Selects.

My favorite Select is the first one, Grachan Moncur III, but this one has really started growing on me lately. Perhaps I set myself up for a let down by getting all excited when I heard it was coming out and pre-ordering the set, but Hill's Mosaic Select didn't do a whole lot for me right away. I'm thinking that maybe the problem was the way the material was sequenced, jumping from a sextet to a string quartet, then to a trio and back to septet and sextet, as well as the different players and styles on each session. I solved this recently by dividing the three CDs up in iTunes using playlists, consisting of each configuration (i.e. 1969 string quartet sessions, Jan. 16-23, 1970 sextet sessions, etc.). The stylistic shifts are much easier to deal with by tackling one at a time.

BTW, does anyone have the original track listing for One For One? I'm thinking that using the Mosaic Select set, as well as Pax, one could recreate One For One. Is there anything I'm missing?

Check here for the Andrew Hill Issue index (at www.jazzdiscography.com) -- "One For One" is there, as well as details on all of the various releases.

My experience with the Moncur select was similar to yours -- didn't get it at first, but now it's one of my favorites. Plus, it's really almost a Jackie McLean Select as well! :tup

I made individual CDs from the Mosaic Complete Andrew Hill 63-66 set, but never thought to do that for the Select. May be a good idea...
