This 2-CD set by the Lee Morgan Quintet was recorded live atthe Lighthouse, in Hermosa Beach in the summer of 1970, and even though thetaping conditions were not all they could have been, the outstanding level ofthe performances herein make it a valuable document well worth listening to.Morgan\'s creativity reaches the highest peaks. His playing here is on fire, asis the excellent group of sidemen who back him.

With this collection we have a rare opportunity to hear himstretching out in 2 versions of \"Ceora\", one of his most famouscompositions. It\'s also worth mentioning, that this set contains the only LeeMorgan recording to feature Harold Mabern\'s \"The Chief\", a tunededicated to John Coltrane.

Lee Morgan\'s regular quintet had previously recorded thispiece for a rejected Blue Note session on September 1968. Also composed bypianist Mabern is \"Rakin\' and Scrapin\'\", which was part of the band\'sregular repertoire as well but was never recorded by Lee Morgan anywhere elsethan in these performances. Finally, on this album, Lee Morgan is heard for theonly time in his entire discography playing the famous song \"Willow Weepfor Me\".

This is a must to have for all Lee Morgan fans, and is theperfect complement to the Blue Note recordings also taped at the Lighthouse afew days later.
