We just announced a special Members Only CD collection to raise money for the Jazz Institute. Itβs a multi-disc limited edition of only 100 sets. Over half are gone so act quickly if interested.
The source material comes from the Howard Rumsey archive features all the music from the original Cecil Charles Spiller master tapes. As a surprise bonus, Don Dean was there that evening and recorded quite a bit of music that didnβt part of the the Spiller tapes.
Itβs as close as we can get to experiencing the excitement of a Sunday at the Lighthouse circa 1953!

Experience a full Sunday marathon jam session at the Lighthouse
All but a little over an hour are unissued and uncirculated and will be heard here for the first time.
Only 100 sets being produced which will all be numbered. Itβs a true limited edition designed as a fundraiser for the Jazz Institute.
