I haven't ordered or pre-ordered a set in a few years but this has a lot of music I never heard or even knew existed so I have my order in.

Same here!

Woo hoo, this is set I’ve been waiting for! As good as the small set is this one has the most gems, IMO. All the Mel Powell rank as his best, very swinging, creative and witty. The Braff and Larkins sessions are masterful. Although Mosaic has left things off like the Mel Powell “Bandstand” and the Nat Pierce session, which bewilder me. Nonetheless, this is a must have set for 1950 mainstream jazz and swing. I’m sure the sound will be the best ever. The last set topped previous releases of this material, even the Japanese ones.

I have had all these sessions on disc for years. . . great stuff. .  I've pre-ordered based on the amazing sonic quality of the previous Mosaic set.

I find it interesting that this is a limited edition of 5,000.  That number seems to be inching up again - a few years ago, it was only 3,000.  I wonder if they're just feeling more self-confident.
