And then there's the one with Bird, Willie Smith, and Benny Carter jamming with the Bat Cole Trio!

A free for all and free for all of you!

Anyone know if this is available on CD or streaming services?

I'm coming to this discussion late (been on vacation). I think it's great news. The V-Discs have been reissued all over the place for years, and the Vanguard material deserves to be reissued in an organized way. There are at least two cds worth of Vanguard things by Jimmy Rushing alone. I assume those will be part of these new sets?

Thanks! 

The CD liner notes can be found on the Internet Archive, which is always nice:

Okay, so this is interesting. Do we have any idea of the order and timing of when these sets are going to come out? Six months, two years??

For those wishing to sample a pretty good Jubilee program, check out #089 (1944-07-24): Jimmie Lunceford Orch, Joe Sullivan, Lena Horne, The Nat King Cole Trio, Butterfly McQueen, and hosted by Ernie "Bubbles" Whitman.

Were the Jubilee shows, or even numbers from them, issued as V-Discs?

I'll be interested to read the Mosaic books.  I do know that, while the Jubilee shows presented themselves as "live," much of the musical material was recorded in the studio beforehand.

Coincidentally, I just started listening to Resonance's Nat King Cole box.  This box includes some tracks from Jubilee shows.  No mention is made of any complications regarding their use, or of needing approval from the government.  Indeed, the credits mention "Episode #29 of AFRS Jubilee is newly transferred by United States Library of Congress."  Maybe the government simply doesn't care anymore.  The box was produced with permission of the Cole estate.
