by Laurindo Almeida with Bud Shank

The performances are very close to bossa nova in ...

by Bud Shank

Crystal Comments (1979) more music like this

by Bud Shank with Bill Mays and Alan Broadbent

Although Bud Shank has since given up the flute, his playing on the instrument was at its peak in the late 1970s. On this unusual trio set, he sticks to flute while joined by both pianist Bill Mays and Alan Broadbent on electric piano; the keyboardists switch instruments on "How Are Things In Glocca Morra." Despite the odd instrumentation, the ...

Beyond the Red Door (2007) more music like this

by Bud Shank & Bill Mays

Bud Shank and Bill Mays first joined forces back in the '70s, but the alto saxophonist's opportunities to use one of his favorite pianists diminished when Mays moved to the East Coast.

This Bud's for You (1984) more music like this

by Bud Shank

Originally known as a cool-toned altoist and occasional flutist, Bud Shank's playing from this recording forward surprised many listeners.

Assisted by pianist Kenny Barron, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Al ...

Jazz-Club: Alto Sax (1952) more music like this

by Various Artists

The Alto Sax volume of theJazz-Club series is organized in an individual, perhaps provocative way that illustrates the dominant influence of one man, pro or con, over an entire generation of alto players, all born between 1923 and 1933. It starts out with "Now's the Time" in the hands of Charlie Parker, the fountainhead of bop on the alto, and ...

Montage (1981) more music like this

Four recording, because the group (Bud Shank on flute and alto, guitarist Laurindo Almeida, bassist Ray Brown and drummer Jeff Hamilton) consistently mixed together different elements to gain its own sound. Included on this date are classical themes by Claude Debussy and Heitor Villa-Lobos, three group originals ...
