Remembering Elvin Jone’s Live at the Lighthouse.

In 1972 Elvin Jones group, which included David Liebman, Steve Grossman and Gene Perla, played a date at the Lighthouse Café in San Francisco. It was recorded, and released as Live at the Lighthouse. It instantly became a seminal recording in jazz after Coltrane. We are thrilled to be able to revisit this powerful music with one of the group’s founding members, bassist Gene Perla.

At the Berklee School of Music and the Boston Conservatory Perla concentrated on piano before moving to double bass.[1] In 1969 he spent one year as a member of the Woody Herman Orchestra.[1] During the early 1970s, he worked with Elvin Jones, Sonny Rollins, Sarah Vaughan, and The Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra. In 1975 he started the band Stone Alliance with Don Alias and Steve Grossman.[1] Also in the 1970s he founded PM Records (“PM” for Perla Music), which released albums by Steve Grossman, Elvin Jones, Pat LaBarbera, and Dave Liebman.[1] He has taught at Lehigh University and the New School of Jazz & Contemporary Music.
