Its been said that it in early 60's,' West Coast jazz scene took a more groovy, soulful and harder swinging approach, in a delibrate effort to escape some of the previous cooler, more mellow and polished sounds'. New names came on the scene, one of them was a tenor sax Curtis Amy, who made six albums from 1960-1963 for a Pacific jazz label. Here are some links, from 'Groovin Blue' and 'Way Down', recorded 1961. and 1962.

If someone decides to listen more his work, there is also his album called 'Katanga' that I have already posted, with 'mysterious' trumpet player Dupree Bolton, and Ray Crawford (played with Ahmad Jamal, J.Smith, etc.)
Here is the link again, as I am already mentioning him.
