Bud was one of those players who definitely got better with age. I just loved how he started changing his sound being more agressive with the growls,etc.
Shank is a legend. Many of the Pacific Jazz albums he made in the 50s are real beauties, although rarely talked about. I'd like to see more of this video.
One of my first sax heroes and influences. Had his own "sound".

I played alto sax, but gave it up when I heard him play the way sax should be played.

Not many people know this, but Shank is featured on a live Frank Zappa album, and he sounds right in place with Frank's band.

when you call a jazz musician a "legend", it gives jazz haters more reason to hate jazz, and it makes me quesy, too.
But we both love Shank.

When you do not know at all what you're referring to this happens so often; out of ignorance and carelkessness. Kind of common human law.
But I do love Shank too.

I started collecting jazz records in the late 50's. I am the proud owner of many of Bud's albums. I play alto and used Bud as an early influence.
