West Coast Jazz
June 14th, 2009

West Coast jazz is a form of jazz music that developed around Los Angeles and San Francisco in the 1950s and 1960s. It featured a less frenetic, calmer style than the hard bop going on in the east. Get ready for the cool cool sounds of such greats as Art Pepper (pictured), Chet Baker, and Shorty Rogers. Okay cat, enjoy!
