this was seeded on dime by  ‘mtnview’ back in january 2009.  it lasted on the tracker for an amazing 2,227 days, and was downloaded 452 times.   this was also released as a bootleg twice, first on the fresh sounds label in 1990 and earlier this year on the hi hat label.

i can’t really add anything to mtnview’s summary:

to me, this is some of the best playing lee morgan’s group ever did, even though the sound quality is rough around the edges and the piano is a bit out of tune.

this is a recording made at the both/and club in san francisco, although it’s sometimes credited as “live at the lighthouse”. the liner notes from the blue note 3-cd live at the light lighthouse tell the full story. this was the gig they played right before the famous live at the lighthouse sessions in southern california and is not material released from blue note. to me, this is some of the best playing lee morgan’s group ever did, even though the sound quality is rough around the edges and the piano is a bit out of tune.

this is one of a number of wonderful recordings from ‘csatennis’, all in the schenectady / albany new york area, a lot of them in the ramada inn (csatennis booked a series of sunday evening concerts at the schenectady ramada inn”).  csatennis hasn’t up- or down-loaded that much on dime, comparatively speaking, but wow! fantastic shows (like this one), and often of folks who i’d not previously been aware of.  anyway, a tip ‘o the hat to csatennis.

from csatennis’s comments:

this was a legendary event in albany. nick and sal were great friends from their days in the woody herman band together. they were both upstate new york hard playing italian boppers.

i remember this night well. sal called nick at 3am the morning before because he was drunk and fell on his horn, bending some keys. he tried to fix it with a fork, but that was fruitless so he needed to borrow nick’s tenor.

sal took a bus up from ny and dropped over to my house where he shared an ample supply of some very strong weed. then we began our trek to the club, nearly getting lost.

sal hadn’t been at a real session in a while and it was like letting out a caged animal. he just exploded as you can tell from this recording.

nick pretty much kept up with him and the two of them had a great time going after each other.

the rest of the band was a local rhythm section that played with nick at a lot of local bop gigs. this recording was made by the late sal maida who was the pianist on the gig.

hope you enjoy!

in the posting on dimeadozen, the seeder watty62 said that

according to jack goodwin’s discography of warne marsh, http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/warnemarsh.info/discography_2.htm there is a missing sixth track (see details below).

1-lady be good feat. levy

and another dime member said they had that… but i didn’t see them seed it ever.  oh well.
