Rare recordings produced by Howard Rumsey with his incredible Howard Rumsey's Lighthouse All Stars and Charles Persip's Jazz Statesmen.

"There was only a short week in which to record, so we made a date for a double session at Liberty's fabulous new studios... Lee Morgan and Frank Rosolino flipped into some original dance steps at the sound of the playbacks. It was a happy date."

-Howard Rumsey
