I'll Take Romance
I'll Take Romance is an album by saxophonist Bud Shank released on the World Pacific label.
Reception
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".Track listing
