Chico Hamilton and Gerry Mulligan were part of a "pianoless quartet" devoted to playing this style; most of their music was released through Pacific Jazz Records. An album named for this style includes the John Carisi penned track "Israel" as well as a song inspired by the statue Venus de Milo. Musicians from (*) California popularized the "West Coast" subgenre of this style of jazz, which titles a Miles Davis album about its supposed "Birth." Relaxed tempos and an "intellectual" approach characterize, for 10 points, what style of jazz so-named since it was a reaction to the frenetic style of bebop?
