From Billboard - October, 17, 1970: Vault Widens A&R Policy

Two saxophonists, Ernie Watts and Charles Owens, will be recorded by Dick Bock's Aura Productions for Vault Records.

By using Bock's new firm, Vault broadens its own policy of working with freelance A&R men in the jazz, pop and blues fields.

The two new bands have a contemporary jazz flavor, explained Jack Lewerke, Vault's president. The National Tape Distributors subsidiary will release their LPs this month

Watt's is entitled "Wonder Bag" and is a compilation of Stevie Wonder songs. Owens' LP will have a Latin flavor. Watts has been performing with the Buddy Rich Band; Owens with that aggregation plus Mongo Santamaria.

Watts plays tenor. Owens plays tenor and alto. This is the first time that Bock has produced any groups for Vault. He recently left Liberty/UA as general manager of its World Pacific division.
