After participating in several Charles Mingus-led Jazz Workshops in August, including an August 21 performance at the Putnam Central in Brooklyn, Davis and Roach took a few months away from the New York scene and played occasionally at the Lighthouse Club in Hermosa Beach. Soon after this session, Davis returned to the midwest and finally kicked his heroin habit.

This material was first issued in the mid-1980s on Contemporary. Also issued on the Contemporary LP is a Roach drum solo and a tune featuring Chet Baker backed by Russ Freeman, Rumsey, and Roach. According to the liner notes, the group with Davis also performed "Get Happy" but the tape recorder was switched off after only a few minutes.
