West Coast Jazz is a 1955 album by Stan Getz accompanied by a quartet including trumpeter Conte Candoli.[2] Getz recorded the album in California, where he was filming parts for The Benny Goodman Story, and appearing for a week at the nightclub Zardi's Jazzland. The musicians that accompanied him at Zardi's were chosen by Getz to make this album with him.[2]
The title of the album is an in-joke as Getz was not associated with the West Coast jazz style. The artwork for the album was created by David Stone Martin.[1] The album was reissued in 1996 by Verve Records with bonus tracks.[2]
