Description

Einband leicht berieben. Papierbedingt leicht gebr�t. - Jazz West Coast is the first comprehensive survey in English of the jazz scene based in Los Angeles during the 1950s. From Shorty Rogers to Ornette Coleman; from the Chico Hamilton Quintet to the Curtis Counce Group - the musicians who made the West Coast scene of those years so exciting and multi-faceted are all dealt with in this exhaustive and painstakingly researched book. Starting with the legendary stint in Los Angeles of Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker, Jazz West Coast goes on to chronicle the Central Avenue scene involving Dexter Gordon, Howard McGhee, Wardell Gray, Teddy Edwards and many others; the seminal Shorty Rogers sessions; the influential Gerry Mulligan pianoless quartet and the contributions of Sonny Criss, Hampton Hawes, Art Pepper, Buddy Collette, Red Callender - native West Coasters and later settlers alike.
