Bud Shank Quartet

If find it interesting that lots of descriptions of Shank's playing at the time highlight cliches of Californian sun, but when you listen to his earlier records, he actually has quite an aggressive and fast punching concept, albeit he never sounds worked up or angry. This is one of my favourite early Shank records, saving the bossa albums which I really do like. I never did entirely like Shank's sound though, for some reason. I don't play saxophone so I don't know what it is, but maybe there is too much loose air flying around. It sounds like balsa wood to me.

Hawk is great, he was so much ahead of his time, like contemporanious other genius musicians like Lester Young, Billie Holiday and Roy Eldrige. 
I don´t know much about pre-bop music, but those four are my favourites and I love him the same like all that came after.....

👍 Yes, a really good one.

Now:

Bought this from amazon.ca for $11 Canadian (a bargain). Some really fine music on this 3 CD set. 

I think I also have a Flip Phillips album from Verve recordings, but I think some of the recordings are even earlier, from the late 40´s. 
There might be one, that has a bop trumpetist on it (could be Howard McGhee). 

The first Flip Phillips I ever heard in my live is on that great little LP with Roy Eldrigde on one side and Fats Navarro on the other side "Saturday Night Jazz Session" on the french America Label. 
The side 1 has Roy Eldridge with Flip Phillips (Flip and Jazz is one title). Great !
