When it came time to record their album, Ill Wind caught the attention of Tom Wilson who had a lot of experience with the genres they were mixing (folk, jazz, rock) but lacked the strong hand they were looking to guide them through their studio inexperience.
Tom Wilson jumped into music production and publishing right out of college when he turned a loan into Transition Records, a record label dedicated to recording the players of the most "advanced jazz" of the day. (So in the mid-50s, that'd be bebop, hard bop and the beginnings of free jazz.) TRLP-1 went to Herb Pomeroy's Jazz in a Stable released in 1955.
Here is the discography surrounding Herb Pomeroy's debut album:
