Aren't West Coast jazz and Cool jazz similar enough to have West Coast jazz be a redirect to Cool jazz? The only cool jazz I know of that's not West COast would be Birth of the Cool by Miles Davis. There are probably many more but are they significant? Spalding 21:34, July 20, 2005 (UTC)
I copyedited the hell out of the article, and I think much of what was wrong with it is fixed; but there's still a lot more to be written, and that'll take editors who know more about the cool jazz specifics then I do. Anyone? SingCal 01:25, 16 August 2006 (UTC) —— cool and west coast are the same style. i also noticed that this genre is not even listed in the main JAZZ article. I think this should be included. azra'el 21:46, 2 October 2006 (UTC)Azrael dragon 02 October 2006
Just a minor edit, I removed pen15 from the "See Also" section because it seemed to have no pertinent information. If anyone disagrees feel free to put it back in and point out what it has to do with this article. Lokine 20:24, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
Quoting Modal jazz "Kind of Blue is an exploration of the possibilities of modal jazz." I don't think Kind of Blue should be mentioned as an example of cool jazz. --Matti Pöllä 22:24, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
I've removed the reference to NYC as the origin of the "cool" connotation. It's a tad counterintuitive, in that many (most?) associate the West Coast with cool jazz (hence the term "west coast cool," a term which uncovers over 60,000 Google hits; also, an earlier editor was of the same opinion). In any case, in order to avoid a West Coast vs. NY debate, I've simply removed the NYC reference without playing up the West Coast reference. Ex0pos (talk) 09:36, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
Why, what, where, and how does this article need additional citations for verification? Hyacinth (talk) 21:55, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
The first paragraph suggests that postwar, Jazz was only either cool jazz or bebop. So swing etc was killed off by bebop? Just asking. Seems this should be made explicit.

I am a composer of All sorts of music, but I have no experience in Jazz and I like how the Wikipedia pages on Cool Jazz and Chamber Jazz describe it, but they Give no help as to what it could be. What I mean by that is, Slower Tempo? How Slow (What Range of Tempos are normally used)? More Relaxed? In What Way? More Constant Key Signatures (Which Ones)? HELP!!!
