Following "The Cover Art of `Blue Note'", this is a selection of the best of the covers produced by the "Contemporary" and "Pacific Jazz" record labels during the boom days of West Coast jazz in the 1950s. Unlike "Blue Note", which was an East Coast operation, these two labels were based in and around Los Angeles, on the West Coast, and there is a Californian feel to the covers they produced.
