We did!

My LOVELY wife did roughly the same thing. I now have the perfect headphone setup; DAC, headphone amplifier, and Susvara headphones and some really nice cables to link them all together. Sounds wonderful.

I believe my first Mosaic box was the Albert Ammons/Meade Lux Lewis box. Happy music! That was a long time ago. A very long time ago.

I still have mine as well. My second introduction into Bop. My first came from the public library and was Diz's Groovin' High as a Lp. I was probably around 12 years old and found Bop to be amazing. Still do...

I'm gonna have to update my answer. I forgot about vinyl... silly me. The Brownie sessions was my first CD box set. I guess to be accurate, I bought both the solo and group box sets of Art Tatum on Pablo before the Brownie box. I still have them but nothing to play a Lp on. I guess I could give the Lp's to Goodwill, but I'd rather give the boxes to someone who would play them. I suspect if someone paid the shipping, I'd be willing to part with them. They've been sitting on the shelf for more than 25 years.

What was your first box set? Mine was the Brownie sessions on EmArcy. Beyond excellent.

The live set is good stuff but the studio stuff is glorious. YMMV

Funny man. Shame it didn't come just prior to the weather going nuts. Jazzbo could have just sat down with an adult beverage and enjoyed.

It's worth the wait. You'll dig it.

Arrived in Arizona this morning. Listening to Woody on disc one... Sound is pretty good. The band is awesome.

Anyone know when the new Big Band Box is going to ship?

It seems that today is just a Freddie kind of day...

This was the first box set I ever bought. Just beautiful.

One more Billy Cobham, just for fun!

Alas, I joined in 2006. I am very thankful for finding this board. Tons of good information from a learned group of people. Blessings to all of you!

I still have some vinyl but the turntables are all gone to Goodwill. I still have Tatum boxes on Pablo - both the solo and group masterpieces. I also have a Savoy Bird box. I honestly don't really know what to do with them. I still have about 750 cds and some digital transfers to flac. I'll probably let my heirs throw them away; something I just can't do. I guess I could sell them but shipping is probably more expensive than the boxes are worth. So, they sit on my shelf waiting to be spun one more time. Sad.
