Bud Shank At Jazz Alley (1986) [Vinyl 24/48]

A Japanese 1987 issue is the only CD I'm aware of, and I could never locate a copy, so I was very pleased to pick up this mint LP

Review by Scott Yanow:
Altoist Bud Shank celebrated his move to the Seattle area by utilizing two talented Seattle players (pianist Dave Peck and bassist Chuck Deardorf) plus drummer Jeff Hamilton for this fine live set. On a well-rounded program of originals, an obscurity and a couple of standards ("A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square" and "I Loves You Porgy"), Shank is in top form, really stretching himself on the frequently challenging material. A good example of Bud Shank's playing in the 1980s.

The liner notes are much more interesting than Scottie's review!

01 - A Nightingale Sang In Berkelet Square
02 - Seaflowers
03 - Too Long At The Fair
04 - Arion
05 - Song For Lady Lynn
06 - I Loves You, Porgy
07 - Wales
08 - Bud's Theme

Bud Shank (alto saxophone) Dave Peck (piano) Chuck Deardorf (bass) Jeff Hamilton (drums)
"Jazz Alley", Seattle, WA, October 16, 17 & 18, 1986
Contemporary LP C 14027

    I never listened to Bud Shank until quite recently... and belatedly discovered that he's quite an impressive player. Thanks for this!

    Thanks a lot Grumpy. I've decided that in future, if the music isn't moving me I'll turn it off. This one is staying on. I love Bud's gravelly edge. At least Yanow managed to write a review without the word 'quite' in it. :)

    Thanks Grumpy. Very enjoyable & not at all like his 50's & 60's West Coast & Bossa Nova sound.
