Sal Mosca solo at perhaps his finest performance moment

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I was there when this recording was made (Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center, NYC). I can tell you that this is Sal at perhaps his finest. Solo, in a large auditorium with an adoring audience, Sal performs an improvised concert that was 30 years in the making. I can hear many other instrumental tones flash out of his music during the performance, such is the intensity of his expression. As a Lennie Tristano student, Sal has few peers. He performs on other albums with Lee Konitz, Warne Marsh, Peter Ind, Jimmy Halperin, and has played with Miles Davis and Max Roach, among other greats. He also has other solo recordings available. Sal is rarely promoted, but his music is worth seeking out if you like improvised, innovative jazz. Check out his discography and more at http://www.salmosca.com"
