iv'e copied and pasted the same stuff from the all about jazz boards
bud funkin' ripped it up tonite.
bud played every note for free, the benefit was for a tucson female jazz musician who is very sick.
before the concert, bud walked by me at the bar with my bass draft close by. shook his hand and said thanks for playin' tonite and caught him on the way back. "hi jeff - bud shank" is in my mosaic booklet now. hell yeah
the concert was totally free!!!!!!!!!
but i paid the $10 at the end.
i went up to bud's table and gave them the $10. i coulda done an "effron" on them and not paid a penny. i shoulda told bud about the secret bud stash tray in his mosaic set, damn it.
fwiw
he lives in oro valley, az. now. not out of the oregon area anymore. about 5/10 minutes straight up the street.
songs he played
with bass, piano, drums
i'm old fashioned that way
my funny valentine
angel eyes (Bud is killer on this one)
a night has a 1000 eyes
carosels (sp) bud and his wife wrote this song. i could tell bud likes to play this song
nature boy
soft as a morning sunshine
and about 3/4 more songs.
bud played for 2 1/2 hours and i was about 25 feet from bud with a straight on view. he played only the alto.
i coulda sat in the front row/ center if i really wanted to, but sat at the bar. there were about 100/125 people max at the concert.
