Great Images of West Coast Scene

Yesterday I perused this book in a book store, and thought it looked amazing. Beautiful images of musicians and their trappings from several decades. The book seems to have a lot of images from the West Coast Jazz scene, which is what really sold me. I just bought a copy for my mother-in-law, who is a big Jazz fan.
