Rare recordings produced by Howard Rumsey with his incredible Howard Rumsey's Lighthouse All Stars and Charles Persip's Jazz Statesmen.
"There was only a short week in which to record, so we made a date for a double session at Liberty's fabulous new studios... Lee Morgan and Frank Rosolino flipped into some original dance steps at the sound of the playbacks. It was a happy date."
-Howard Rumsey
"Quand Lee Morgan, Wynton Kelly et Benny Golson vont faire un tour à Hollywood, ils rencontrent qui? Le fleuron de la West Coast: Red Mitchell, Stan Levey, Bob Cooper et Conte Candoli. Ce disque prouve que les classifications en jazz ne recouvrent pas la réalité. Musiciens dit Westcoast et ceux dit hardbop jouent à l'unisson comme sur "Moto" ou "Wildwood". Un vrai regal."
