This 1968 album features alto saxophonist and flautist Bud Shank covering mostly Beatles tunes, including “Hello Goodbye” and “I Am The Walrus”.By late 1966, Chet’s playing was in such poor shape he asked Dick Bock to pay for him to have dentures fitted. He struggled to play for several months, and eventually emerged one year later, appearing on a handful of songs on Bud Shank’s ‘Magical Mystery’ album. Chet’s playing still sounds extremely tentative at times – the first few bars of his playing on ‘Hello Goodbye’ find him struggling to hold a note – and it is probably for this reason that a second recording session was arranged with a new band, this time featuring Gary Barone on flugelhorn. The arrangements, still by Bob Florence, are slightly more interesting than on Bud Shank’s previous ‘pop’ albums, suggesting a move away from the ‘easy listening’ market to a more current, ‘psychedelic’ sound.
