Jazz Erotica is a 1957 jazz album by American tenor saxophone player Richie Kamuca and baritone saxophone player Bill Holman. It was rereleased in 1959, without the "quite revealing painting of a nude woman on the cover", under the "more conventional title" West Coast Jazz in Hifi.[4]

AllMusic critic Ken Dryden commented that one should expect to pay "a premium price" for it.[1] Tim Neely's Goldmine Jazz Album Price Guide (2011) suggests $200 for a near-mint copy.[5]
