Biography by Scott Yanow
Altoist/flutist
Bud Shank and Brazilian acoustic guitarist Laurindo Almeida first
teamed up in the 1950s to create music that predated but strongly hinted
at bossa nova. In 1974, they reunited to form the L.A. Four with
bassist Ray Brown and drummer Chuck Flores. With Shelly Manne and later
Jeff Hamilton replacing Flores on drums, the L.A. Four recorded eight
albums for Concord through 1982, breaking up shortly afterward. Their
mixture of cool-toned bop, Brazilian-oriented music, and ballads was
quite attractive.

Biografía de Scott Yanow
El alto flautista Bud Shank y el guitarrista acústico brasileño Laurindo Almeida se unieron por primera vez en la década de 1950 para crear una música anterior a la bossa nova, aunque con fuertes guiños a ésta. En 1974, se reunieron para formar los L.A. Four con el bajista Ray Brown y el batería Chuck Flores. Con Shelly Manne y más tarde Jeff Hamilton sustituyendo a Flores en la batería, los L.A. Four grabaron ocho álbumes para Concord hasta 1982, separándose poco después. Su mezcla de bop fresco, música brasileña y baladas era bastante atractiva.
