NEW FROM MOSAIC RECORDS: THE COMPLETE NOVUS & COLUMBIA RECORDINGS OF HENRY THREADGILL & AIR

Henry Threadgill was a founding member of the now legendary Association for the Advancement of Creative Music (AACM) of Chicago, but before and since he has been a founding member of the Henry Threadgill college of making music that matters. And to Threadgill, all music matters—Charlie Parker and street marching bands and Poulenc and Balinese dance. Now, this first big collection of his music provides an opportunity to hear how those ideas collided, entwined, and rainbowed across an almost uninterrupted span of nearly 20 years.

These eight CDs are filled with music that was carefully imagined, deeply felt, and wonderfully executed. The period begins in 1978 with Open Air Suit, hailed for its complexity and for the uncanny way musicians could instantly communicate through improvisation, The set moves from three albums by Air and one by Threadgill's “X-75" to three on RCA with his seven-man Sextett and ends with his three albums for Columbia. Along the way it unveils for the first time ever, a completely unheard Arista/Novus X-75 session from 1979.
