The album features a quintet of Morgan, Bennie Maupin, Harold Mabern, Jymie Merritt, and Mickey Roker, recorded at the Lighthouse Café in Hermosa Beach, California in July 1970. (Jack DeJohnette replaces Roker on drums on "Speedball".) Originally released as a double LP comprising four side-long recordings, the 1996 CD reissue expanded the track list with over one-hundred minutes of additional material from the Lighthouse gigs. In 2021, Blue Note released an 8-CD/12-LP box set featuring the complete recordings of Morgan's three-night stint to commemorate the original album's fiftieth anniversary.
Recording of the album began on Morgan's 32nd birthday (July 10, 1970). This would be the final album and only live recording released by Morgan during his lifetime; his final album, the studio recording The Last Session, was released in May 1972, after his death in February that year.
Personnel:
Lee Morgan – trumpet, flugelhorn
Bennie Maupin – tenor saxophone, flute, bass clarinet
Harold Mabern – piano
Jymie Merritt – electric upright bass
Mickey Roker – drums (except on track 5)
Jack DeJohnette – drums (track 5 only)
