This Mosaic edition of Tony`s later Blue Note years w/ his postbop band (1985 - 1992) compiles 5 cd`s - 'Foreign Intrigue','Civilization','Angel Street','Native Heart' and 'The Story Of Neptune', and while it may seem pricey, it`s now cheaper to buy this box than to purchase the titles individually, as they have risen since his passing (2/23/1997). This was a great band and showcased Tony`s skills as a composer as well as reaffirming his status as the most defining drummer in Jazz. It clearly indicates how strong an influence Art Blakey`s band was to Tony`s early development (he used to sit in w/ Art`s band when he was only 15 years old when Blakey`s group played in Boston, Tony`s hometown).
