Awesome player; he'll be missed. I discovered him via the wonderful Mosaic Box of the Pacific Jazz Studio Recordings. I can't reccomend those old recordings enough (Slippery When Wet...)

My god. You-Tube comments are SO stupid!!
The sound is bad because it was recorded and processed bad.
Bud had 5 Balanced Action Selmers. He liked them all and just chose one for a gig. That's what he told me in 2003. He is playing an alto sax in this video.

Yes, I was wondering about the snake-charmer sound - more appropriate to the soprano sax (which I don't like). I think he has probably the nicest sound there is on flute (doesn't play it anymore), and a lovely sound on sax earlier on.

Bus Shank had the most beautiful tone back in the 50s and 60s. Then, starting in the mid-70s, Art Pepper started sqauking and shrieking, so, of course Bud Shank had to start squeeking and shreiking, too. Goodbye, beuatiful sound. What a drag!

Bud Shank remains a master musician!

Yeah he's awesome! I wish there was more in this video. I got to see him live in San Jose once. He knocked over a mic stand because it was too loud, or whatever. He seemed like a nasty guy, but he played great.
