Our Take
Our Take
Ah, California Dreamin', the latest offering from jazz legend Bud Shank. This album is like taking a musical journey down the Pacific Coast Highway with a cocktail in one hand and a saxophone in the other.
From the first note, Shank's smooth and sultry saxophone playing transports you to the beaches of Malibu, with the scent of saltwater and sunscreen wafting through the air. The title track, a reimagining of the Mamas and the Papas classic, is a whirlwind of cool jazz vibes and West Coast surf sounds.
Tracks like "Sunset Serenade" and "Pacific Breeze" evoke images of lazy afternoons spent lounging on the beach, with Shank's masterful saxophone skills creating a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era of California cool.
The album's standout track, "Venice Vibes," is a funky and upbeat homage to the eclectic vibes of Venice Beach, with Shank's saxophone dancing effortlessly over a groovy bassline and funky drum beats.
Overall, California Dreamin' is a fun and funky album that perfectly captures the laid-back vibes of sunny California. Bud Shank's masterful saxophone playing shines throughout, making this a must-listen for jazz enthusiasts and beach lovers alike. So grab your sunglasses, kick back, and let Bud Shank take you on a musical journey to the Golden State.
