Every time I read something about the Lighthouse café I have to think of my friend Sandi. She grew up in Hermosa Beach and saw all the great ones. She told many stories from that time, I can't recall something about Shorty Rodgers or Warne Marsh right now. I can't ask her any more unfortunately, since she died in 2011. Thanks for the link.

Candidate for an Uptown release, perhaps?

Candidate for an Uptown release, perhaps?

or more likely a "Los Angeles Jazz institute" release

[romualdo]

"Indiana" was released last year on LAJI CD #11 - "Howard Rumsey/Lighthouse All Stars - Live In The Solo Spotlight"

The above date is incorrect according to Ken Poston (LAJI) - it should be Dec 14 (Jack has already been notified by Ken)

Ken's commment on potential release is "probably not although it's always a possibility"
