Lee Morgan/Live at the Lighthouse

I can't answer your question (I grew up in the CD era...), but there was some discussion about it before, maybe it helps finding out?

The best of the batch were on the original 2-LP release, but the rest are very good, including "The Sidewinder." I like the 2-CD Fresh Sound Lighthouse material even better.

That 2 cd set was mislabelled, and is actually from the Both/And Club in San Francisco. I think Belden goes into the story behind this in the legit release's liner notes.

Belden does mention that in the liner notes. I believe Bennie Maupin may have mentioned Both/And.

However, there is some evidence that the Fresh Sound is as advertised (similar sounding piano, Howard Rumsey credit), but not from a night recorded for Blue Note. It's in one of threads referred to above.

This past summer I visited the Lighthouse for the first time. It ain't what it used to be -- jazz only on Sundays. While I was there I was imagining Lee Morgan and his group playing there -- that must have been an awesome group to see in person!!

Get the 3 CD Box -- IMHO some of the best live jazz on record!!!

Amen ! Ive had this box since 1996 and its been worth every cent.

Last time I was in the Lighthouse, also on a Sunday for brunch, I was thinking the same thing - the wooden stage must be original although its in a different location within the room I think (I recognised the acoustic properties).
