Rosy's remaining titles for Ted Weems are on the complete Weems Decca series, in three volumes.

I am also reissuing Rosy's complete Jump and Audiophile recordings, in cooperation with both of those labels. Doug Pomeroy has beautifully restored these classic 1950's sides, which will be available on the Jump label later this year.

Happy listening!
