ISSUE 46: WEST COAST JAZZ: EARLY YEARS

The Magazine
The story of jazz in California begins long before the West Coast Cool of the 1950s. It embraces the big-band era, the revival of traditional jazz and the birth of be-bop, as well as the long, troubled, but fascinating relationship between jazz and the Hollywood movie industry.

The Music
This dazzling two-decade survey ranges from Paul Howard's 'California Swing' to Nellie Lutcher's 'Hurry On Down' by way of Stan Kenton, Lionel Hampton, Woody Herman, Slim Gaillard and Kid Ory - plus a visit to the movies with Bing Crosby and Louis Armstrong.
