  1. As it turns out I do have the book "Latin Jazz: The First of the Fusions" by John Storm Roberts - overlooked it as it was on a different shelf than the other two. The Cole album is mentioned in just one paragraph, without references. But the passage makes clear that he mixed up the 1946 shellac disc with the 1958 LP, in which Chocolate Armenteros may have participated, as Roberts got from "Latin music scholar René Lopez" - without giving a definite source.
  2. I thought so - but I think I'd kick myself in case I'd missed it.
  3. Same here. Reading this is a limited edition made me give in.
  4. I'm sure it does, and I can wait - no B-anxiety here. As long as they don't start smashing foreign goods .....
  5. They are listed as unissued in the official Blue Note discography, not as rejected.
  6. While checking the data for Wilson's sessions in Ruppli's Atlantic Discography I noticed that the Vault sessions before Ramblin' have master numbers in sequence with Atlantic sessions - the association between the labels must have been close.

    Leon Eason

    Anybody here ever heard this Blue Note 45? Who was Leon Eason? This was part of an otherwise unissued session: Leon Eason (tp,vcl) acc by Dottie Dudley (org) John Simmons (b) Ronnie Cole (d) Hackensack, N.J., May 17, 1959 tk.1 I'm in the mood for love Blue Note 45-1745 tk.3 I'm in the mood for love (unissued) tk.7 Because of you (alt) - tk.8 Because of you Blue Note 45-1746 (not released) tk.13 Song of the islands - tk.14 That's my home 45-1747 (not released) tk.18 I'm just a gigolo - tk.20 All of me (unissued) tk.23 Blueberry Hill - tk.24 Cape Cod - tk.31 Lazy river Blue Note 45-1745 tk.35 I'll never smile again (unissued) tk.37 Sweethearts on parade - This other 45 makes me think of some Babs Gonzales connection:
  8. I had to correct my post above - I took the info fom the Lord Disco, but whoever copied the data from Michel Ruppli's Atlantic Discography misread the personnel note to the Lindy Opera House sessions, printed on a later page - Amy plays only on one track with the Wilson quartet with Ayers, 8124 Woody 'n' You. I got the Atlantic Disco from the library today to cross-check. Never trust Lord or discogs or anybody on the web without consulting the original sources!
  9. There was a bargain offer of Tactus CDs on JPC recently, helped me close some gaps in my collection:
  10. 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.
  11. 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/
  12. 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.
  13. "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.
  14. 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
  15. Still waiting for a dispatch note from amazon UK ....
  16. 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 .......
  17. 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.
