More from the "West Coast Artists series" on Pacific Jazz Cover artists are: Bob Irwin - Chet Baker / Edmond Kohn - Russ Freeman Trio / Vito - Hamilton in Hi-Fi / Sueo Serisawa - Ellington Suite

Had a short discussion with another member re cover art of a West Coast label. Pacific Jazz Records promoted on his earlier covers other artists as painter & sculptors in a series called "West Coast Artist Series". After a bit of checking they have featured this on 8 volumes with the artwork of resident artists from the West Coast . These artworks were done expressly for Pacfic Jazz. Here are 4 of them. More to follow from my collection. The artists are as follows: - Keith Finch - Gerry Mulligan LP / - John Atoon - LP Solo Flight & LP Blakey "Ritual" / Sueo Serisawa LP Jack Montrose

Thats a good one. Some years ago I was in touch via mail with the producer of Astral Records John Loeffler (german born Hans Löffler). He informed me about other recordings he had produced. We did exchange some music (more from his side than mine). Here are other copies: Kenton,Stan "live" at KEESELER Air Force Base 1958 Astral Jazz 102 Kenton,Stan Concert in Wiesbaden 1953 Astral Jazz 101 Kenton,Stan Kenton ' 63 - Concert in England 1963 Astral Jazz 104 and the above mentioned compilation issue # 105 on the Astral label. Here I like best the period from 1951 to 1958 Part of this issue are also 2 tracks from the famous Berlin Sportpalast concert. I think that was Stans first visit to Germany. I have them all and must say these were the times when Stan really had great bands. Nice to see that also our common friend Fred Augermann was part of the production crew for 3 of those and also another friend Steven D. Harris on 2 copies.

A CD seldom seen but its here too. Looks like his dad

Welcome in a great time period of Jazz. I am still there ;-}}

A nice coverart series of Pacific Jazz records with still living recent artists from the West Coast. Music inside those recordings is the same caliber

Correct. I can play this one without any problems and it sounds great.

Which one do you mean?

Sorry, Claude Williamson the pianist naturally ;-]]

Yes but the Claude Williamson from that series are missing but the rest is here.
