I was lucky enough to spend an hour or so alone with Howard this past Fall in LA. Very friendly guy and a blast to talk to about the "old days". He told me a lot about the Lighthouse that I didn't know as well as many stories about West Coast Jazz, musicians, the original owner of the Lighthouse and some things that I won't mention here. Howard was also signing copies of this DVD, which were/are for sale. He said he is trying to put a book out at some point but it's slow going at this time...hope it sees the light of day in the near future.
Here are a few images I made of Howard.
