Review of The Untold Story of West Coast Jazz

A fascinating look and listen to a distinctive style of music that emerged in the 1950's, well researched and explained by Reese Erlich, with lots of musical examples and comparisons presented for the listener.
The half hour moves along easily, at a steady pace, as geat jazz musicians give the lowdown on a curious and cool era.
