The name Bud Shank is synonymous with West Coast jazz. He is credited as being the one of the first musicians to introduce the flute to jazz; he also was one of the key figures to introduce Central and South American sounds to the idiom, along with Laurindo Almeida in the early 1950s, which led to the formation of Bossa Nova a few years later.
Background:
Bud Shank has been at the forefront of the jazz world since the 1950s, having started his career in the bands of Charlie Barnet and Stan Kenton. He joined Howard Rumsey's Lighthouse All Stars in the ‘50s and quickly became an integral member of the West Coast jazz scene.
Bud composed and performed the music for the ground-breaking Bruce Brown surfing movies Slippery When Wet and Barefoot Adventure, and composed the music for Robert Redford's first movie, War Hunt, in 1962.
Numerous jazz recordings during the 1950s and 1960s led Bud to a large amount of studio work in Los Angeles during the '60s and '70s. During this period he performed primarily on both alto sax and flute.
In the 1970s and '80s, Shank joined with Ray Brown, Jeff Hamilton, and Laurindo Almeida to form the world-renowned LA 4, who recorded and toured extensively through out the world.
Bud performed a specially composed concert for jazz alto sax with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in the 1980s, and formed the Bud Shank Workshop in Port Townsend, Washington, which provided jazz education for students over a 25 year period.
Today Bud Shank lives in Tucson, Arizona and continues to perform around the world.
DVD/CD combo package includes:
DVD Documentary film about Bud Shank featuring his quartet photographed at Studio West in San Diego, CA and extensive interviews with Bud and over a hundred photos from the Bud Shank collection.
CD featuring music from the DVD and rare Bud Shank performances including the premiere of "The Gift", written by Bill Holman and performed by Bud and The Bill Holman Band.
