by Scott YanowRecorded during a period when he was gradually returning to jazz from a studio career, Bud Shank (who was a member of the L.A. Four with Laurindo Almeida during the period) doubles on alto and flute on this set with trumpeter Bobby Shew, pianist Mike Wofford, bassist Fred Atwood and drummer Larry Bunker. With the exception of "Here's That Rainy Day," all of the music was composed by either Shank or Wofford, and the playing is excellent.
