Wow, Tyler! Here is what I learned...I know “a lot” about Jazz, but it is very specific stuff that I know. You are educating me about West Coast and labels that I have not heard of before. That’s wonderful. Thank you for pointing me to different tributaries. I will say, Dr. Browne had a big influence, based on the artists you mentioned. Dexter Gordon is my favorite sax player, and I have a Francis Wolff photograph of Dex in my office. Great stuff!
I think the first time I really heard about Dexter was watching Round Midnight in some London theater. It helped fuel my interest in Jazz. So when I got back to Cali I was interested to find that his roots were west coast all the way....
