I think that's the point. There is no "West Coast" style - the term covers too many varied artists.

This series was very helpful to me as a kid learning about jazz in the early 1960's. I've still got my set of 12.

I got everybody except the bassist & guitarist, so I cheated & looked it up in Arnold Laubich's Tatum discography. Laubich names everybody except for these two. I agree that the bassist is probably Lesberg, but who's the guitarist?

I saw the piece - very interesting. Did they say his estate is outside London? I've heard that he lives in Kentucky (married a Kentucky girl).

"Cool jazz" describes a style of music. "West Coast Jazz" was a marketing term coined by Dick Bock of the Pacific Jazz label, specifically for his artists Gerry Mullligan and Chet Baker. Since the music of many (but not all) of the "West Coast" artists can be considered "cool", the terms have become interchangeable in some peoples' minds. They shouldn't be, since a fair amount of cool jazz actually originated elsewhere, and a number of California musicians did not play "cool" jazz.

I smoked for fourteen years, starting when I was 16. Finally kicked the habit at 30, having quit for over a year twice only to pick up the habit again. It's a nasty and insidious habit, and every time I see a kid smoking, I'm disgusted as to how the kid has been duped (as I was) by the idea that it's "cool" to smoke. Have now been tobacco-free for much longer than I was hooked.

It is a test pressing of a reissue, so I'd be surprised if it went crazy, but then again, anything goes.

Somebody else's English may also be not so good - I think Chet was occasionally called "Chetty".
