The record

 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.

    This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

    Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
