I went looking at Vanguard releases on discogs myself and wondered immediately about that one.
I did spot this title and decided to order thru ebay/Craig Moerer records:

In this case I am certain that this was a decision based on a resulting price point.
Seeing that the material is owned by Concord now ... is this the first time a deal has been made with them? What are the implications for possible future sets, I wonder.
Wondering why larger group recordings like these didn't make it? If the second set will feature piano trios they shouldn't be expected then and will just remain "out there".

Again unclear on what was issued on comps like Basie Bunch I and II and other Vanguard CD reissues in the 90s-2000s.
Definitely interested but reading only one unissued track is a little disappointing. Wondering what is truly new to CD since I think I did get all the discographical-nightmare / otherwise-outstanding CD reissues from the early 2000s.
Pull Quote:
I intend to keep the discographies section up and will hopefully update it from time to time (as well as working with friends on other discography sites).
Yes but he does mention the rare Billy Higgins vocal single from the session. Stereo Jack sent me that one about 20 years ago and seems only available on a Jordi Special from FreshSounds?
Edit to add: The Glory Smyth album has its pleasures too.
