Previously unreleased material from two of the most highly regarded jazz musicians of their generation, who helped the development of their respective instruments. Trumpeter Joe Gordon and bassist Scott LaFaro both died young at the peak of their creativity. Two sessions from 1958 and 1960, live at the Lighthouse.
