The Intimate Miss Christy is a 1963 album by June Christy.

Review by Nick Dedina

On June Christy's excellent run of albums for Capitol Records the vocalist was most often backed by Pete Rugolo's complex orchestral charts or by small, freewheeling jazz groups led by her husband, Bob Cooper. So The Intimate Miss Christy is a special treat for her fans as it finds the cool blonde singer backed only by Al Viola's guitar and Don Bagley's bass (though a flutist sits in on a few tracks). This guitar/bass-only approach was first popularized by Julie London and went on to be utilized by many other singers during this era. The backing not only suits the laid-back, cool jazz approach of June Christy perfectly, but it also means that the singer is never forced to strain too hard, as she sometimes did when working with the experimentally inclined Pete Rugolo...

Ended Monday and started Tuesday after a swim with I'll Take Romance is an album by saxophonist Bud Shank released on the World Pacific label.

In an AllMusic review by Jason Ankeney, he states: "Far removed from the sometimes bloodless sensibilities of the West Coast cool school, I'll Take Romance is as warm as its title portends. The string arrangements are sweet but never sentimental, boasting a sensitivity that colors but never overwhelms Shank's lyrical alto and flute" - Wikipedia

The Bud Shank Quartet is an album by Bud Shank recorded in January 1956 for the Pacific Jazz label.

"...The two quartet albums The Bud Shank Quartet and Bud Shank Plays Tenor are the most representative of that 50s' cool school, and the origin of the West Coast aesthetic. Shank's alto style was certainly in the Art Pepper mode, and Claude Williamson was a bop-inclined pianist with a single-note percussive phrasing much in the Bud Powell manner. In the opening track Bag Of Blues, Shank gives a direction to his playing that is determined and unwavering. Williamson is not only supportive but shows some fire in his approach..."

Electric Connection is one of four American recordings Jean-Luc Ponty made in 1969. In 1969 was it was released on vinyl by World Pacific Jazz

Electric Connection Review by Scott Yanow

The innovative violinist Jean-Luc Ponty was making a strong impression in the United States in 1969, a year in which he made four notable American recordings that solidified his reputation a few years before he formed his own fusion band. For this little-known effort, Ponty is joined by a big band arranged by Gerald Wilson and including pianist George Duke (an important early collaborator), altoist Bud Shank, flutist Tony Ortega and guitarist Wilbert Longmire. Highlights include "Summit Soul," Ponty's "Hypomode Del Sol" (which sticks effectively to one chord) and Ron Carter's "Eighty-One."
