I’ve been spending a lot of time enjoying The Complete Live at the Lighthouse by Lee Morgan. It compiles every set his group performed at the historic Hermosa Beach nightclub in July 1970. The box set contains three full nights of music, so you can listen through as if you were there yourself. Also on heavy rotation is the latest Garcia Peoples record, Dodging Dues. Over the past five years, they’ve established themselves as one of the tightest bands around, both on stage and in the studio. On their new full length, they continue to develop their own unique strain of psychedelia. Don’t miss their return to the stage at Tubby’s in Kingston on 4/20.
