Various Artists "Spiritual Jazz 19 - West Coast Usa Part 1: 50S & 60S" 2xLP

• Two-LP compilation
• Part 1: West Coast USA recordings from the 1950s and 1960s
• Fourteen selections

Jazzman's nineteenth Spiritual Jazz collection turns to the experimental side of the American West Coast. Part 1 concentrates on the 1950s and 1960s, looking beyond the region's familiar cool-jazz reputation to music shaped by a wider range of compositional and improvisational ideas. Its fourteen selections make this a focused survey of that earlier period; the later decades are covered by the separate Part 2 volume.
