5.0 out of 5 stars The Truth, December 28, 2005

Don Pullen was one of the unsung original masters of jazz piano. This collection exemplifies his incredible skill, originality, intensity, and emotion. At times, he appears to be all over the place, while never losing sight of thematic and rhythmic imperatives.

George Adams, on tenor and flute, which isn't mentioned in the liner notes, is even more unsung than Pullen. This is unfortunate because he too is a master at his trade who has gotten very little attention. Listen closely and you will witness some work of true brilliance.

The cuts involving Gary Peacock on bass are really of interest. Where Pullen is at times flying across the keys in, seemingly, all directions, such as on Reap the Whirlwind, Peacock is like a rock, grounding everything with a steady, firm line. He really brings it all together.

Don Pullen cds were, for a long time, very hard to come-by. Mosaic has, once again, done itself proud by releasing some incredibe, heretofore difficult to find musical gems in this collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great set but price is ridiculous, October 31, 2005

This is really a fine, fine set. Pianist Don Pullen was one of the great originals of jazz, and this is a whole lot of his primo work, with the superb assitance of George Adams. But the price is nearly twice what it would cost to order direct from mosaic dot com! Come on, amazon, even Tower had it for a lot less than this.

This review is from: The Capitol Vaults Jazz Series (MP3 Download)

This has not been available from Mosaic because of a lost connection. It was a Mosaic Select item priced at their going rate.($44)
This is a VERY rare item now available from Amazon.
Do some research on Pullen and find out the treasures on this long unavailable list of Don's tracks..
George Adams is the most underrated player out there.
what a bargain.
