That Old Feeling

After many years of studio work and a period co-leading The L.A. Four, Bud Shank permanently put away his flute and started concentrating exclusively on alto. This modern bop set with pianist George Cables, bassist John Heard and drummer Tootie Heath finds Shank at his most passionate and creative, stretching out on jazz standards and an eccentric blues. He shows listeners just how much he has grown as an improviser since gaining his initial fame in the 1950s.
