He explores the rhythmic and harmonic underpinnings of familiar standards in a way that transforms them but strangely completes them. I can't get this record off the turntable.

It probably entered my collection as one of hundreds of LPs I bought when the Tower Records at 4th and Broadway (RIP) in Manhattan unloaded all of their records to make room for CDs (around 1990-91). It may seem absurd that someone would have records in their collection for that long without listening to them. But I have enough records that, despite my best efforts, some remain unplayed. Anyway, I hope you can get hold of some of Mosca's music in whatever format you can. I think it is sensational. Good luck!
