Bud Shank: Against the Tide, Portrait of a Jazz Legend PLAYLIST: DVD Total Playing Time: 115:00 Bud Shank: Against the Tide showcases the Bud Shank Quartet filmed in San Diego, CA performing Bud's tunes, and includes extensive interview segments with Bud as he discusses his over 60-year career in jazz. Included are rare Shank performances from television and film, including the Stars of Jazz TV show from 1957, and Bud's appearance from the Frankly Jazz TV broadcast in 1962. The name Bud Shank is synonymous with West Coast jazz. He is credited as being one of the first musicians to introduce the flute to jazz; he also was one of the key figures to introduce Central and South American sounds to the idiom, along with Laurindo Almeida in the early 1950s, which led to the formation of Bossa Nova a few years later.
