The end of the story is force someone to go across a it would be that kind of party," Throughout the first half of the fifties, the West Coast jazz scene was almost completely dominated by Shorty Rogers. The man behind the goatee is synonomous with the "West Coast school" of jazz, as Rogers' personality and musical views have influenced a host of young jazz musicians. It is difficult to define comprehensively any trend in music, and the "West Coast" style is no exception. There are, however, some general observations that can be made. The bands tend to be small, numbering five or less musicians, and there is a wide variety of instrumentation. As a result of a constant search for "new" sounds, many unlikely instruments have been introduced to jazz, notably the flute, oboe, fluegelhorn, and cello. Too often, I am sorry to say, these "new" sounds have proven to be simply revoicings of old cliches. Rogers developed a loosely swiuging, highly arranged style of scoring the first choruses of songs, and also set the standard for original compositions. Almost everything is played up tempo, with only dreamy ballads to relieve the consistency of meter. There is a conspicuous absence of anything re­ sembling the mood of a slow gutty blues. Although many of his followers have degenerated into cranking out endless variations on simple chordal structures and calling them originals, Shorty Rogers continues to be somewhat a paragon of taste in the matter of composition. His tunes tend to be lyrical, intriguing, and contrapuntal in nature. Rogers has made much more of a name for himself as an ar­ ranger than as a soloist, scoring the bulk of the arrangements for the local groups. Many trumpeters, however, have studied his many-noted fluegelhorn style. Pete Jolly, who is currently the pianist in the Rogers quintet, is one of my favorites on keys. With his right hand, he favors a percussive, driving, single line attack, with a mini­ mum of variation in dynamics. It is his left hand, though, that gasses me! It's always ·working, punching out major sevenths, forming rhythmic patterns, and punctuating melodic phrases. Ever meet a dreamer? Jolly needs little accoml>animent, as he furnishes more rhythm than the average drummer, with his big left hand. Frills instead of fundamentals are what interest him. In his future job he dreams of a carpeted office, a re­ Ralph Pena, the bassist in the group, has endeared himself to sounding title, an acre of polished mahogany to sit my heart for his work in the Jimmy Giuffre trio.
