Elvin Jones - Live at the Lighthouse


This is a somewhat highly regarded album, especially amongst saxophonists. This is a live recording of Elvin Jones' band including Gene Perla on bass, and Steve Grossman and Dave Liebman on saxophones. This was Liebman's (and I think Grossman too) gig before he joined Miles Davis fusion band (On the Corner).

Heck, someone has even transcribed all of the solos from this record and called it the Lighthouse Omnibook:

The record has a lot of good jamming. I'm still listening to it. It is a double album. I find it interesting that side 1 and 4 are on one of the records, and the other record is side 2 and 3. Hey, it's a blue note record!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With a wild album cover. Check out all the crazy fishes hovering around that there lighthouse!
