Was that The Lighthouse? A legendary jazz club that I had a number of jazz albums
from, but by the time I finally hitchiked to the coast to go there (circa 1972) it had,
most unfortunately, become a rock and roll place.

I saw Freddie a number of times in the early 70s in Chicago at small clubs. A tremendous
talent, but seemed to lack the character of a great such as Miles Davis, and hence his
career was rather brief and disjointed. But in sheer playing ability, he was awesome.

I don’t know much about the musicology of Jazz but I’ve always liked Freddy Hubbard

Was that The Lighthouse?

Yes.

Apparently it is still open, as The Lighthouse Cafe: http://www.thelighthousecafe.net/index.html

I wish I could remember the name of Freddie Hubbard's piano player that night. He was fantastic.
