There is a really great review in Victory Review for February, 2009

The reviewer, Tom Petersen, said many very nice things about us. Here is a sample:

They challenge the conventions of time and tone with unnerving starts and stops, tension-filled harmonies and strings of notes that are technically admissible but daunting. Mosaic neither flaunts their brilliance nor forces listeners to deal with the difficult, however -- the arty stuff is bright and bouncy and full of charm, without being kooky or cloying.

Here's the end of the review:

Mosaic is the brainchild of Charlie Heistand (sic), who has assembled a crack team of Seattle sidemen and lined them up behind fetching vocalist Jean Mishler. This is a crisis? Mosaic reels off one terrific tune after another, Mishler fully inhabiting all the songs, whatever the emotion. The band prefers tunes with some kick, so this record never bogs down. Neat-o!

OK, he mixed up the name of the CD and the name of the band. OK, he misspelled my name. This is minor stuff. I like what he said about Jean. Thank you, Tom!

We had our gig at Sherman Clay in Seattle. We had a good crowd and the music went very well. We played and sang the whole CD, even the hard stuff. And I got to play on this wonderful $118,000 Steinway "D". Woo wee, baby. Everyone was appropriately awed by the music and the piano. Very cool.
