Jazz Research
Jazz Research is focused on jazz in California spanning the years 1945 to 1960. The emphasis is on record labels that produced West Coast jazz. Labels that were established during these years are of particular interest: Contemporary Records, Pacific Jazz, Nocturne, Jazz:West, Intro, Mode, Discovery, Trend, Tampa, Skylark, and Fantasy Records. Several books have examined this era in jazz. Robert Gordon’s Jazz West Coast , Quartet Books, London, 1986; Alain Tercinet’s West Coast Jazz , Parenthèses, Marseille,
“Over the last half-century, New York’s preeminence in the world of jazz has been challenged only once—during the 1950s—when California emerged with a splash on the jazz scene. “West Coast jazz,” as it soon became known, was a fresh new sound which stirred both controversy and excitement in equal measure. One thing, however, was certain: never before (or since) had so many jazz musicians from the Coast made such an impact on jazz. Dave Brubeck, Dexter Gordon, Art Pepper, Chet Baker, Eric Dolphy, Paul Desmon
