After participating in several Charles Mingus-led Jazz Workshops in August, including
an August 21 performance at the Putnam Central in Brooklyn, Davis and Roach took
a few months away from the New York scene and played occasionally at the Lighthouse
Club in Hermosa Beach. Soon after this session, Davis returned to the midwest and
finally kicked his heroin habit.
This material was first issued in the mid-1980s on Contemporary. Also issued on
the Contemporary LP is a Roach drum solo and a tune featuring Chet Baker backed
by Russ Freeman, Rumsey, and Roach. The incomplete "Get Happy" was not released;
it was included in a 2019 documentary on the Lighthouse, and I am grateful to
Craig Neilson for sharing it with me. Davis' and Shank's solos are intact, and
the tape ends as Ericson begins his solo.
