GERALD WILSON, LF on-line pics of PJ album covers

[Rooster_Ties]

Somebody just listed a couple Gerald Wilson CD's for sale in another thread (look for undergroundagent's recent thread under "offering/looking-for"), and it occured to me that although I own the Gerald Wilson Mosaic, I don't think I've ever seen any of the original album covers (except "Portraits"), for any of the other dates from the GW Mosaic (his complete Pacific Jazz years).

Anybody have any to share?? Can we find images for all of them, and post them in this thread?? Thanks!!!! -- Rooster

And PS: Which of these (if any) have seen individual CD release??? Either in the U.S. or Japan (or perhaps Europe??).

Before today, the only one I knew of was "Portraits" (which I very briefly owned, before getting the Mosaic), but Allan has both "Portraits" and "Moment Of Truth" for sale as individual CD's.

OK, here's a good "Eternal Equinox", from a current eBay auction...

[Rooster_Ties]

Here's a not-so-good pic of "Moment of Truth". (I'll delete this post as soon as we find a better one.)

Here's a better one, but still not such a great image, quality-wise.

"Portraits", the only one I had ever seen before today.

[Rooster_Ties]

Here's "Feelin' Kinda Blues"...

[Rooster_Ties]

"Live and Swinging"...

[Rooster_Ties]

I'll look for more later. I think that's everything there is to find currently on eBay. An anybody fill in the rest??

Forgot to upload this one earlier. Don't have a back cover this big and nice for it, though...

[JSngry]

Cool dude!

[JSngry]

Back cover of EVERYWHERE

[JSngry]

Useless, probably.

A portion of the back cover.

Somewhere I've got the Wilson/McCann album (original cover). If I find it, I'll post another lousy webcam pic or two.

Not an album cover, but a very cool pic nonetheless...Gerald is on the right end...Photo is of Cecil Lee's orchestra, c. 1939, not long before Gerald left Detroit to join the Chic Carter Orchestra in Flint, and then on to the Lunceford band.

I had the honor of interviewing Gerald last weekend at the Ford Detroit International Jazz Festival. His memory is amazing.

Sorry, I got the ol' 'website not responding' treatment...I'll try again later.

Also, Gerald is second from the right, not on the end.

[JamesJazz]

Let's try this one more time...
