"Barefoot Adventure", the soundtrack to Bruce Brown's 1961 surfing film of the same name, is a swinging, driving jazz session by top musicians at the peak of their careers: Bud Shank (alto and baritone), Bob Cooper (tenor), Carmell Jones (trumpet), Dennis Budimir (guitar), Gary Peacock (bass), Shelly Manne (drums).

The original Pacific Jazz recording has an excellent sound and shows Shank at his most adventurous, playing with a high degree of confidence and sophistication. The reissue was mastered by Kevin Gray of Impex Records.
