NO. I have both. The material is not identical (more in the Columbia set) and the sound imo is better in the Columbia set.

Interesting. I wouldn't have expected the sound of a Malcolm Addey mastered set to be bettered by a Mark Wilder mastered set. Also didn't realize that the Columbia set contained more music. Appreciate the info!

[jazzbo]

"Bettered" may be personal taste and system dependent. To me the Wilder set sounds better on my system. . . I think that ADC equipment may have improved in the time in between. 

The Columbia set contains the live album and a second live disc of previously unreleased material from the live album:

The Complete Woody Shaw Columbia Albums Collection (6 CDs):
1. Rosewood (1977)
2. Stepping Stones (1978)
3. Stepping Stones Bonus Tracks
4. Woody III (1979)
5. For Sure! (1979)
6. United (1981)

The Mosaic set contains:

Columbia JC 35309 - Woody Shaw - Rosewood.
* Columbia JC 35977 - Woody Shaw - Woody Three.
* Columbia FC 36383 - Woody Shaw - For Sure!.
* Columbia FC 37390 - Woody Shaw - United.

👍 .... the "Stepping Stones" bonus material is worth the ticket of entry alone and testament for rather unheralded Carter Jefferson discussed here recently ....

Odd album, but I really enjoy it. Agreed on Ruiz. The opening Paul Robeson Othello clip is killer and has always hooked me.

Charlie Parker Mercury & Clef 10-Inch LP Collection

Maybe not a box set, strictly speaking, but I'm starting to listen to the Ahmad Jamal Emerald City Nights: Live at the Penthouse 1960s sessions, recorded at the same place where Coltrane performed in 1965 and that I've heard is now a parking lot.

On deck are the Black Saint/Soul Note box sets collecting albums by Kenny Wheeler, Roscoe Mitchell, and Oliver Lake, some of which I already have, others are new to me.
