Working on a two part Bud Shank feature that starts tomorrow on my blog.
The following video features Bud Shank, baritone sax, Carmell Jones, trumpet, Dennis Budimir, guitar, Gary Peacock, bass and Mel Lewis, drums.
An unusual setting for Shank as he is primarily an alto saxophonist but the sonority he creates with Carmell's rich tone on trumpet is quite compelling especially when combined with the minimist and spare rhythm section featuring Budimir, Peacock and Lewis.
Try listening to this a second time and focus your ears on Peacock's bass lines. To my ears, they are so fat and juicy that they become a delectable bass clef comfort food for the other members of the group to feast on.
