Bud Shank began his career pigeonholed as a cool schooler, but those who
listened to the altoist progress over the long haul knew that he became
one of the hottest, most original players of the immediate post-Parker
generation. Lumped in with the limpid-toned West Coast crowd in the
'50s, Shank never ceased to evolve; in his later years, he had more in
common with Jackie McLean or Phil Woods than with Paul Desmond or Lee
Konitz. Shank's keening, blithely melodic, and tonally expressive style
was one of the more genuinely distinctive approaches that grew out of
the bebop idiom. Shank attended the University of North Carolina from
1944-1946. Early on, he played a variety of woodwinds, including flute,
clarinet, and alto and tenor saxes; he began to concentrate on alto and
flute in the late '40s. After college, Shank moved to California, where
he studied with trumpeter/composer Shorty Rogers and played in the big
bands of Charlie Barnet (1947-1948) and Stan Kenton (1950-1951). Shank
made a name for himself in the '50s as a central member of the West
Coast jazz scene. In addition to those named above, he played and
recorded with bassist Howard Rumsey's Lighthouse All-Stars, tenor
saxophonist Bob Cooper, and Brazilian guitarist Laurindo Almeida, among
others. Shank made a series of albums as a leader for World Pacific in
the late '50s and early '60s. Shank ensconced himself in the L.A.
studios during the '60s, emerging occasionally to record jazz and bossa
nova albums with the likes of Chet Baker and Sergio Mendes. Shank's 1966
album with Baker, Michelle, was something of a popular success,
reaching number 56 on the charts. Film scores on which Shank can be
heard include The Thomas Crown Affair and The Barefoot Adventure. In the
'70s, Shank formed the L.A. Four with Almeida, bassist Ray Brown, and,
at various times, drummer Chuck Flores, Shelly Manne, or Jeff Hamilton.
Shank had been one of the earliest jazz flutists, but in the mid-'80s he
dropped the instrument in order to concentrate on alto full-time.
During the last two decades of the 20th century, he recorded small-group
albums at a modestly steady pace for the Contemporary, Concord, and
Candid labels. Shank's 1997 Milestone album, By Request: Bud Shank Meets
the Rhythm Section, presented the altoist in top form, burning down the
house with a band of relative youngsters who included neo-bopper
pianist Cyrus Chestnut. Three years later, Silver Storm was released.
Shank continued performing and recording after the turn of the
millennium, undertaking the challenging task of forming the Los
Angeles-based Bud Shank Big Band in 2005 and making his recording debut
as a big-band leader with Taking the Long Way Home, released the
following year by the Jazzed Media label. In 2007 Jazzed Media issued
Beyond the Red Door, a duet recording by Shank and pianist Bill Mays.
Shank's passion for jazz remained strong to the very last days of his
life; he died at his home in Tucson, AZ on April 2, 2009 of a pulmonary
embolism shortly after returning from a recording session in San Diego.
Shank's doctors had reportedly warned the saxophonist who had moved to
Tucson for health reasons that playing the session could be
life-threatening. Bud Shank was 82 years old.
