Bud Shank Personal Jazz Collection

[sandxssun]

Hello All, I recently acquired several items from the estate of Jazz altoist Bud Shank. I am working on getting a complete list together for sale. All of these items are from his personal collection, those items that were not given over to the Los Angeles Jazz Society, and obtained directly from his wife, Linda.

Included are:

- Approximately 45 Vinyl LP’s from the 1950′s to 1980′s, half of which are his own LP’s, likely Promos. Many still sealed.

- 22 signed Bud Shank Album Covers, most from the 50′s. A few, there are more than one.

- 5 signed Album Posters, Brasamba, Bazilliance Vol 2 & 3, and 2 Bossa Nova Jazz Samba.

- 4 Jazz books by William Claxton: Jazz West Coast, Jazz Seen, California Cool, and Jazz. Some with notes in them.

- A loose CD (found in his CD Player), possibly a Promo. titled, Bud Shank Quartet at the Jazz Bakery, Disk 6 1/31/2009. A couple months before his passing. Not sure what this is.

Oh, and one other item: a letter to Bud Shank on Frank Sinatra letterhead. It is not signed but has a typed date of April 1991. It describes Mr. Sinatra's appreciation for an album by Bud Shank and Lou Levy. Apparently, this is referring to the album Bud Shank & Lou Levy produced the year before called Lost in the Stars: Bud Shank and Lou Levy Play the Sinatra Songbook. Interesting Jazz memorabilia.

I’ll get the complete list soon. Email if interested. sandxssun@cox.net

Regards, Matt

I saw your listing on jazzcollector and I wondered if you'd sell this stuff or why you`re posting it?

Anyways, congratulations - sounds nice.

Well, it's probably this: Fascinating-Rhythms or some material from the sound board that was used to construct this album.

Jazzcollector is a place for crazy people. For fools who pay many hundred of dollars for 40-70 year old goods over the internet, and subsequently can't handle the truth: old records typically of lots of surface noise, and scratches. For vindictive anal-retentive losers who go about living like this (recent post): "A seller who does not follow my explicit instructions with respect to customs declaration gets automatically a negative feedback." Seriously these are people to avoid in life. Jazz collectors indeed, not jazz fans.

Since the loose CD found in his CD player doesn't have a case, can the CD player in which itr was found be included to make up for that?

EJP626, You are likely right regarding "some material from a sound board" or something of that nature. The CD is clearly a burned CD with a semi-professional? printed face. Besides the title "Bud Shank Quartet at the Jazz Bakery" it says, " 1/31/2009 - Saturday Set 2 (Disc 6)" With the following 6 tracks: Chicane, In Walked Bud, Fascinating Rhythm, Lover Man, Manteca, Night and Day.

JSngry, In response to your question, the CD never had a case just a paper sleeve. And the CD Player was just a cheap portable.
