There was a bargain offer of Tactus CDs on JPC recently, helped me close some gaps in my collection:

Some research tells me there was only a handful of jazz albums on the Vault label: 108 Jack Wilson - The Jazz Organs 131 Elaine Brown - Seize The Time 9004 Charlie Barnet - Charlie Barnet Big Band - 1967 9009 Hampton Hawes Plays Movie Musicals 9010 Hampton Hawes - High In The Sky 9012 Charles Owens - I Stand Alone 9006 Kid Ory - Live 9001 Jack Wilson Plays Brazilian Mancini 9002 Jack Wilson - Ramblin' 9005 Larry Bunker - Live At Shelly's Manne-Hole 9008 South Frisco Jazz Band 9011 Ernie Watts The Wonder Bag An elaborate listing can be found under http://www.bsnpubs.com/la/vault/vault.html Ramblin', the two Hampton Hawes and the Larry Bunker (with Gary Burton) have been reissued on Fresh Sound. The Ernie Watts is a poppish treatment of Stevie Wonder tunes. The Elaine Brown is a poetry recital with jazz backing arranged by Horace Tapscott. The Barnet big band has Jack Wilson on piano, arrangements by Billy Byers and Bill Holman. The Kid Ory is a 1947 live recording. Can't say anything about the South Frisco Jazz Band, probably a revivalist affair. Charles Owens was a West Coast hard bop tenor saxist, Oscar Brashear plays on his album. Other LPs in the 9000 series were pop, e.g. 9003 by the Chambers Brothers.

I got mine from JUNO in the UK, cost me twenny bucks incl. shipping. They ship fast and pack in sturdy boxes. https://www.juno.co.uk/artists/The+Jack+Wilson+Quartet/

Wasn't the Keynote LP box one of his projects? Anyway, one of the greatest box set producers. R.I.P., and many thanks for your work.

"Ronnie Clark" was Herbie Hancock. They solved the riddle in the credits to the "Daddy Bug & Friends" compilation. Hancock, btw, plays on the title track, "Virgo Vibes" as well - the take with Jack Wilson from the LA session remains unissued.

This one? Can't remember where I got that. It is one of the best sounding jazz CDs I have. Christlieb is great here. There are some for sale on discogs: https://www.discogs.com/Jack-Sheldon-Playin-It-Straight/release/5828338

Still waiting for a dispatch note from amazon UK ....

I'm glad I cancelled my order for their CD issue after your posts here. One wonders If they actually listened while doing the transfers .......

These data all are from the Atlantic and Blue Note label discograpies and/or the Tom Lord Discography, so basically they are not news. I will get me the label discos from a local library later this week. If Cuscuna marked the unissued Blue Note material as rejected, it is unlikely the tapes still exist. I had posted the Atlantic sessions in an earlier post - unless Wilson took tape copies home, the tapes with unissued material probably were destroyed by the fire in Atlantic's tape vaults. I'd say, don't hold your breath.

Looking for the OJC CD reissue at a decent price. Thanks for your help.

Now disc 3

Disc 2

Same here - I have CDRs of the music, but that's not the same thing. But I can wait. Same goes for the Pacific Jazz Piano Trios Select.

One of the best Frescobaldi recordings one can buy - no less.

Jack Wilson fans should not overlook Roy Ayers' debut as a leader, which has Wilson featured prominently, and Curtis Amy on four tracks. Mosaic still has a few copies of the fine sounding Mighty Quinn reissue CD. http://www.mosaicrecords.com/prodinfo.asp?number=AYERR01

Is the booklet LP sized as well? I am asking because I saw some Fantasy LP sized box sets with CD sized booklets,
