"For more than a decade, Bud 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 [and] his improvisation, ferocity. Both have continued to build." -- JazzTimes On Beyond the Red Door, alto sax legend Bud Shank is joined by pianist Bill Mays for an exciting duo album. This disc includes renditions of several standards including "The Touch of Your Lips," "I Loves You Porgy," "Everything I Love," and "Where Or When."
