West Coast blues is a type of blues music influenced by jazz and jump blues, with strong piano-dominated sounds and jazzy guitar solos, which originated from Texas blues players who relocated to California in the 1940s.
[1] West Coast blues also features smooth, honey-toned vocals, frequently crossing into rhythm and blues territory.
Texans who played here included Pee Wee Crayton and T-Bone Walker.
