Starting in 1949, Howard Rumsey helped introduce the world to what would eventually be called “West Coast Jazz” at the Lighthouse in Hermosa Beach, California. During the ensuing several decades the venue would provide a stage for artists like Lee Morgan, Grant Green, Joe Henderson and Rumsey’s own group, The Lighthouse All-Stars.
Join Tom Engelmann as he celebrates Howard Rumsey and the Lighthouse All-Stars on another edition of “Unsung Heroes, Influential but Overlooked Masters of Modern Music.” Monday, February 22 at 8:00 p.m., on your radio or online.
