This is the best Lord 10.0 can offer:

Gerald Wilson Orchestra:
Gerald Wilson, Joe "Red" Kelly, Robert Ross, Ken Medlock (tp) Lew 
McCreary, Jim Robinson, Robert Huerta (tb) Les Robinson, Buddy Collette 
(as) Vernon Slater, John Randolph (ts) Clyde Dunn (bar) Vivian Glasby 
(p) David Bryant (b) Chuck Thompson (d)
Los Angeles, 1947
     Smada    Excelsior 539, Sounds of Swing LP121
     The black rose             -                    -
     Guarchi (pt 1)              542
     Guarchi (pt 2)             -
Note: All above titles also on Classics (F)1444 [CD].

He lists a couple of LPs by Merian, but has a note that his other 
recordings are of limited jazz interest.
