The record
A West Coast summit meeting caught live under promoter Gene Norman's name, stacking Pepper, Shank, Mulligan, and Giuffre horns over a rotating rhythm bench of Hawes, Manne, and Bunker. A snapshot of the cool-jazz scene coalescing in 1951, with Mulligan doubling on piano ahead of his own quartet breakthrough.
