What happened to the Bud Shank shows at the Iridium

[Hardbopjazz]

Mr. Shank was going to play the Iridium Jazz Club in July. The shows are no longer listed on the web site. Anyone know why the were canceled?

I took a look at Bud's website and it shows all of his gigs cancelled from July 6 - August 12. Hope nothing's wrong.

I was looking forward to that Boston gig. He absolutely killed here last summer.

I hope it's only a temporary setback.

Bud had been battling some ill health for awhile and he evidently got a little worse recently. He discussed his recent health problems (not in any detail) during a June phone interview with me, which was scheduled for the July issue of All About Jazz-New York. I bet he will be back up to speed and appearing in New York City this fall.

Catch him while you can. The show in Boston last summer was incredible. Shank was on fire. I took my mom -- who had seen him in the '50s in L.A. -- and she said it was the best jazz show she's ever attended.

Bud has just released a new CD on Jazzed Media called "Beyond the Red Door" . It's a duo session with Bill Mays and I'm hoping it will be in my mailbox tomorrow.

They were just about to record that when I interviewed both Bud and Bill last year.

What I'd really like to hear is a recording of the Boston gig I was at: Shank, Mays, Martin Wind, and Matt Wilson at the tail end of a several-week

tour!

One of the first jazz records I ever bought with my very own money was:

Swingin' date from the late 1970's, it was my introduction to a number of "standard" tunes:

THERE IS NO GREATER LOVE

ELSA

I`M GETTING SENTIMENTAL OVER YOU

THREE LITTLE WORDS

IF I WERE A BELL

STELLA BY STARLIGHT

MY SHIP

DEARLY BELOVED

Doesn't look like this one has ever been reissued, not even on emusic!

Wow, I didn't realize that Chick Corea and Brett Somers had a son!
