Jazz at Cal-Tech is an album by saxophonist Bud Shank recorded in January 1956 for the Pacific Jazz label.
Reception
AllMusic's review by Jason Ankeney states: "The near-telepathic interplay that distinguishes all of Bud Shank's collaborations with reedist Bob Cooper reaches a dazzling peak with the live Jazz at Cal-Tech. A deceptively freewheeling set... it boasts a simmering intensity often missing from Shank and Cooper's subsequent studio sessions, channeling the energy of the audience to add a new edge to their creative give and take".
