...and a great cover on top of some really good sound.

I, too, am old. I turned 65 this year. All the doctor visits are getting me down. I blacked out a week ago and bounced my head off of the porcelain throne. Gave me the worst shiner I've ever had. So, I listen to music. I used to listen to Sun Ra but now find it's too much for me to comprehend. I love Mingus but that too, is problematic. It's interesting that my taste in music is for lack of a better term, "narrowing". Challenging music that I used to enjoy is difficult to follow now. I guess that's my version of Stolen Moments.

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?
