"Bud Shank"s had a major re-awakening. Now, he"s swinging with more exuberance and making daring choices. He"s not getting older, he"s getting more ferocious." -- Down Beat "For more than a decade, Shank has gone full steam ahead as a jazz alto saxophonist. When Shank declared independence from the studios and the flute, his alto tone took on muscle, his improvisation, ferocity. Both have continued to build." -- Jazz Times "His strong tone and improvisational agility could put to shame many a musician half his age." -- Boston Globe This nearly two-hour documentary film showcases jazz alto sax legend Bud Shank, featuring dynamic performance footage from a recent recording session as well as extensive interviews in which Shank discusses his 60-year career as one of the founding members of the West Coast jazz movement.
