The record
A curio from the West Coast cool scene: Shank scored this surf documentary with a tight quartet, trading the era's big-band gloss for lean alto and flute lines over Billy Bean's understated guitar. Gary Peacock, still early in his career, anchors the date with the kind of quiet assurance that would soon take him to New York.
