From HitStory, the pop encyclopedia of School of Rock · Genre
West Coast jazz · In the 1950s, Cool Jazz acquired a variant of its own in California, played by musicians who also worked in the film and television studios. In 1952 in Los Angeles, Gerry Mulligan started a quartet without piano with Chet Baker, so that baritone saxophone and trumpet play in counterpoint. The quartet of Dave Brubeck from San Francisco recorded Time Out in 1959, with Take Five by the saxophonist Paul Desmond.
