This review is from: Sunday Jazz á la Lighthouse, Vol. 1 (Audio CD)
While Miles Davis (Birth of the Cool - 1949) properly gets a lot of credit for creating the 'cool' jazz sounds of the late '40's and '50's, Howard Rumsey and the story of cool jazz on the West Coast occurs in the same period and creates a modern jazz sound that is, I think, unique. The Lighthouse All Stars, which Rumsey founded originally from Sunday jams at the Lighthouse Cafe in Hermosa Beach, were high caliber musicians, many from Stan Kenton's orchestra. Their sound has a combination of swing and experimental improvisation a la beBop or just flat out modern (like Brubeck) that had a singular signature. The All Stars included on this CD: Shorty Rogers, Maynard Ferguson,(t) Jimmy Giuffre, Bob Cooper,(sax) Shelly Manne,(d) Milt Bernhart,(trom) Frank Patchen and Hampton Hawes (p) and of course Howard Rumsey (b). My current senior citizen jazz class that is learning about modern jazz thoroughly enjoyed it and the All Stars also do Latin better than Miles. "Viva Zapata" on this CD is fab. Enjoy!

This review is from: Sunday Jazz á la Lighthouse, Vol. 1 (Audio CD)
Great music and fantastic musicians! This album had Maynard Ferguson and Shorty Rogers on trumpet, along with Shelly Manne on drums and Howard Rumsey on bass; another all-star in my mind was Hampton Hawes on piano. Real nostalgia for a great time in West Coast Jazz. This was originally recorded in 1953 at the Lighthouse, and the background noise is evident-maybe not to distracting if you imagine yourself being there having your required minimum drink per session. While it was re-mastered in 1991 and the quality is probably much improved over the original, I would pass on using this as a demonstration to your wife as the reason you just spent thousands of dollars on a new speaker system
