Mosaic big box sets

[connoisseur series500]

Interesting to see the responses.

[connoisseur series500]

I've got 11.

Few have voted yet, but I bet I stand at the lower to mid range of voters here. We'll see.

[connoisseur series500]

OK, who was the 21+? Fess up!

[king ubu]

another 21+ (prob. around 25-30... or more, with the Universal versions having been around for good prizes last year, over here in Europe).

[7/4]

this may change soon.

10% sale?

Who is the brave soul who admitted to "none?"

[Ron S]

13, with maybe another 13 or so current and future ones on the wish list (whatever that means ).

[GregK]

only two here. I promise to fix that!

9 for me. Only regret buying one of them.

[B. Clugston]

Just 1 for me (Giuffre). This seems to be one of those you either own a little or a lot things.

[Rooster_Ties]

I'll have to count 'em when I get home.

I'm guessing something like about 12, maybe 15 tops.

[Guy Berger]

Just 2. I find them overrated.

20 in my shelves... but that's not counting the 3 on order... incl. Ellington...

[Van Basten II]

With those i ordered with the last special i now own 17 of them

[Noj]

Turrentine, Blue Mitchell, JJ Johnson.

In addition, I have the Jazz Crusaders discs, but no box or booklet. Also the last set of discs in the Stitt set. I had the Curtis Fuller, but I traded it to Conn for the individual discs.

[Peter Johnson]

3 for me (Anita O'Day, my first, Gerald Wilson, and Crusaders). I also find them overrated, and in fact, I want to sell the Anita O'Day one (PM me if you're interested!). I just prefer individual CD's, where possible.

That said, I'm thinking about the Art Farmer set, having purchased three of his individual CD's, which I'm really enjoying, from Paul recently. What can you do.

That's what made me buy the last two.

[Uncle Skid]

9 for me. Only regret buying one of them.

I also have 9, and regret one: Anita O'Day. Nine CDs of Anita is about 6 or 7 more than I need at this point.

[trane123]

100+. In fact, the only OOP boxes that I don't have are volumes 2 and 3 of the Commodore sets.

Yeah, I know...I have way too much disposable income...

Here's something pretty cool - As I was ordering my 100th set I just happened to put in the comment section of the on-line order form that this was, in fact, my 100th set. Didn't expect anything from it (except maybe an email saying "thanks, keep it up"). Well, the day after I received the set (the Turrentine) I find a "next day" package laying on my doorstep with a $100 "thank you" gift certificate inside.

Pretty damn cool...

WOW... the Anita O'Day is one of my faves... I suggest someone PM this man...!!

21 on the nose.

Will go to 22 next December 25.

That Crusaders Box set is definitely not overrated.

[Quincy]

11, and I think I'll add 2 before the month is out. Bix/Tram/Tea & Stitt are the front runners, though Venuti/Lang & Parlan are still in the race. Odd how a week ago Stitt wasn't even on the radar (at least in terms of a big big box.) But dang, those samples are too good!

I totally agree, the Crusaders box is definitely not overrated. I'd say it's probably underrated, definitely unique in a very good way.

I'm into 4 of the big boxes at this point, The Crusaders, Hank Mobley, Horace Parlan and Stanley Turrentine. I really don't have the funds or required desire to spring for many (if any) more. I'd like to pick up the Gillespie box eventually.
