Mosaic had a great 3 CD set of the five 70's RCA albums from Tabackin/Akioshi, great music and sonics...

FYI, those Mosaics are, sadly, all out of print. 

I know the Mosaics are long gone, but still sometimes on ebay at decent prices, considering it’s 5 albums...and now that I'm reminded, going to play mine now .. Thanks !!!

stuartk, the album you recommended with flute is astonishingly good ...

I am tempted to say that his flute mastery exceed sax ...

Tabackin  live in Japan and was married to a japan musician , flute playing in Japan produce supreme masters from the Zen school  , we can hear something of their sound in Tabackin playing phrase  ...

Thanks for the recommendation ... Especially because i am not a flute lover ...But i like to provoke my innate taste to go on new road...

Lew Tabackin has also released excellent recordings as a leader. Not only does he excel on sax but he has one of the most distinctive styles on flute in Jazz.
