 Title: Bud Shank – Bill Mays – Explorations: 1980
Year/Genre: 1980, Jazz
Matrix #: CC-2002
Condition: Vinyl Near Mint- came sealed, cover bent, vinyl perfect 
Cultural Facts:

  1. The session was recorded in October 1979 at Crimson Studios, Santa Monica, and released under the Concord Concerto imprint, catalog CC-2002. 

  2. On this album, Bud Shank appears exclusively on flute, paired with pianist Bill Mays — a somewhat unusual duo format for Shank, known mainly as a saxophonist. 

  3. The program blends jazz with classical repertoire: pieces by Bach and Scriabin sit alongside new compositions (“Suite for Flute and Piano”) by Mays. 

  4. This album fits into Shank’s late-‘70s/early-‘80s Concord period, which marked his embrace of more exploratory and chamber-influenced jazz fare compared with his earlier West Coast sessions.

Title: Chet Baker – Chet Baker SingsYear/Genre: 1954, Vocal JazzCondition: New (sealed; 180g limited yellow vinyl) Cultural Facts: Recorded in Los Angeles sessions that helped shift Baker’s reputation from West Coast trumpeter to unlikely vocal star. Early critics were divided on his soft, fragile singing, but the album became one of his most enduring and reissued titles. Helped popularize the cool jazz image of Baker as a matinee-idol figure, tying his music to 1950s beat-era West Coas...
