Eight Brothers

• Track Listing

The title track of this album refers to the members of the Light House All Stars, men who have come through the jazz wars in Los Angeles to emerge at the peak of their abilities. This, one of two great Candid sets, features some of the true giants of West Coast Jazz. Compositions and arrangements by Shorty Rogers and Bud Shank, Conte Candoli, Bob Cooper et al are featured prominently. The Lighthouse was truly a coast jazz beacon, especially during the 1950s. It was one of those special places where the elements were right for creative magic and the memories and the music of the Lighthouse All Stars still hold generations enthralled.
