“The Cannonball Adderley Quintet at the Lighthouse” was the third album by this outstanding quintet led by the great #CannonballAdderley and probably the best at this point. The setting is probably the most celebrated jazz spots in Southern California, The Lighthouse which is in a suburb of Los Angeles. On this one-day occasion it was a beautiful Sunday afternoon-and-night stand by the quintet which was a culmination of a month-long triumphal stay in and around L.A. At the time The Lighthouse itself was something special located at 30 Pier Avenue in Hermosa Beach, California. It has been active as a jazz showcase since 1949 and, under the name "The Lighthouse", was one of the best-known West Coast jazz clubs from the 1950s through the late 1970s. When Lee Morgan’s “Live at the Lighthouse” was released last week, I started to listen all my albums recorded there and this is one of the best in my opinion. Because Cannonball’s quintet at the time was one of the few Eastern groups to have played there that the response from an earlier session there that month, they became the first non-cool jazz group to record there. It’s not too surprising in the Californians’ reaction to the quintet, because it had become quite clear had established a universal recognition as one of the most invigorating groups during that time. The group which had been organized in the Fall of 1959, from the start they enjoyed an overwhelmingly widespread and passionate public acceptance. The group was amazingly close knit with Cannonball on alto, his brother #NatAdderley on trumpet, #VictorFeldman on piano, #SamJones on bass and #LouisHayes on drums. It was recorded on October 16, 1960 for #RiversideRecords . . . . . #Jazzrecords #classicjazz #jazzvinyl #jazzjunkie #vinylcollector #vinyllove #recordoftheday #johncoltrane #igvinylclub #igjazzvinyl #3rdStreetJazz #roonlabs #JazzRecordoftheDay #JazzRecordCollector #JazzVinylCollector #VinylJazz https://www.instagram.com/p/CS-a2KvLf7B/?utm_medium=tumblr
