Home Jazz Alley

From Louis Armstrong to Charlie Parker to the new greats of today, this is the place for Jazz!

Flutes no bongos

The jazz flutist and saxophonist Bud Shank recorded the soundtrack to an early surf movie "Slippery When Wet" but this was in 1959 before surfing was sold to mainstream American teens via the Beach Boys and Dan and Dean, and when surf music was more associated with West Coast cool jazz than hot overdriven Fender guitars with tons of reverb. And surfing in this era definitely had a mystic cool vibe that was a precursor to hippiedom.

Gary Peacock played base on this album, so both Albert Ayler and Keith Jarrett are only one degree of separation removed from surf music!
