I know that Phil Woods has a lot of detractors on this board, and I do not share their opinions. I am a bit surprised that Bud Shank is, for the most part, ignored here? Bud was very much a part of the West Coast Jazz scene for a number of years and also was quite active in the studio and movie music realm. But as he got a bit older he said no more of that sort of thing. He put away his flute and became a very very hard swinging bop oriented alto player. I was fortunate to see Shank live a number of times and he was never less that damn good.
