Review by Ryu B

The album "You Are Too Beautiful" by Bud Shank and Bob Brookmeyer is a delightful piece of jazz music that will leave you mesmerized. The album features a collection of nine tracks that showcase the harmonious blend of Shank's saxophone and Brookmeyer's trombone.

The opening track "You Are Too Beautiful" sets the tone for the rest of the album with its mellow and soothing melody. The duo's rendition of the classic tune is simply beautiful, with Shank's saxophone and Brookmeyer's trombone complementing each other perfectly.

The album also features some upbeat tracks like "What Is This Thing Called Love" and "Love Walked In," where the duo's improvisation skills are on full display. The rhythm section, consisting of bassist Bill Crow and drummer John Beal, provide a solid foundation for the duo's improvisations.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Just Friends," where Shank and Brookmeyer's interplay is at its best. The track showcases their ability to play off each other's improvisations seamlessly.

Comments

1954 :) :) :)
Some downright bad intonation in the strings. This arr. doesn't do this beautiful tune justice.
I heard this song years ago but did 't know the title. Recently heard on Music Choice.. I love this rendition. But it is the singing of the song that is haunting.?
Quite a surprise to find this album here. I have it in my posession since 1965 but play it rarely  becouse of the quality.  Nice to hear it again in this good sound quality,  thanks for sharing !!   If anyone,  lover or collector of Bob Brookmeyer / Bud Shank is interested in My LP ( of poor quality)  please let me know
