Sugan (1957) more music like this

by Phil Woods

This CD from Fantasy's Original Jazz Classics series is essentially a bebop jam session. The quintet (altoist Phil Woods, trumpeter Ray Copeland, pianist Red Garland, bassist Teddy Kotick and drummer Nick Stabulas) performs three Charlie Parker compositions and three originals by Woods, but the melodies are quickly discarded in favor of heated ...

Pairing Off

Pairing Off (1956) more music like this

by Phil Woods Septet

The title of this excellent CD reissue comes from the fact that the featured septet consists of two altos (Phil Woods and Gene Quill) and two trumpets (Donald Byrd and Kenny Dorham) in addition to a rhythm section (pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Doug Watkins, and drummer Philly Joe Jones). Of the pairings, Woods and Dorham were more distinctive ...

American Songbook

American Songbook (2006) more music like this

by The Phil Woods Quintet

Phil Woods, the great American saxophonist, has been featured in more diverse settings than almost anyone in the history of the music. His constant challenging of himself as a player, bandleader, and composer has been admirable since his debut set as a leader. While standards sets these days are not only a dime a dozen but mostly cop-outs from ...

Lost in the Stars: The Music of Kurt Weill (1985) more music like this

by Various Artists

Not to be confused with Sony's 1997 soundtrack release, September Songs: The Music of Kurt Weill, which was inspired by this 1985 CD on A&M, and co-produced by visionary Hal Willner, Lost in the Stars: The Music of Kurt Weill indeed contains the "eclectic updates of Kurt Weill's distinctive German theater music" with help from Sting, Marianne ...

Jazz Alive: A Night at the Half Note (1959) more music like this

by Zoot Sims/Al Cohn/Phil Woods

Zoot Sims and Al Cohn always made great music together; this live CD documents portions of two nights' work together at the Half Note in New York City, assisted by pianist Mose Allison, bassist Nabil Totah and drummer Paul Motian.

Rights of Swing

Rights of Swing (1960) more music like this

by Phil Woods

This Candid recording is such a major success that it is surprising that altoist Phil Woods has rarely recorded in this context. The all-star octet not only features the altoist/leader but trumpeter Benny Bailey, trombonist Curtis Fuller, baritone saxophonist Sahib Shihab, the innovative French horn player Julius Watkins (a major factor in this ...

The Young Bloods

The Young Bloods (1956) more music like this

by Phil Woods with Donald Byrd

For this early hard bop date, altoist Phil Woods and trumpeter Donald Byrd were co-leaders. In fact, the music had at one point earlier on been released with Byrd getting first billing. Since the spirited altoist contributed four of the six tunes (including "House of Chan" and "In Walked George") and consistently takes solo honors, it is only ...

The American's Songbook II (2007) more music like this

by The Phil Woods Quintet

The Phil Woods Quintet has long been famous for being the perfect outlet for the veteran altoist. In addition to bebop standards, the group usually includes inventive originals and lots of interplay between the five notable musicians, which in recent times has included trumpeter Brian Lynch and pianist Bill Charlap in addition to original members ...

Song for Sisyphus

Song for Sisyphus (1977) more music like this

by Phil Woods Quartet

This recording features an early version of altoist Phil Woods' Quintet, the second of two albums that includes guitarist Harry Leahey. With pianist Mike Melillo, bassist Steve Gilmore and drummer Bill Goodwin completing the group, the Woods band's sound and musical philosophy were very much in place. The great altoist performs a few boppish tunes ...

Phil & Quill with Prestige (1957) more music like this

by Phil Woods & the Gene Quill Quintet

Altoists Phil Woods and Gene Quill always made for a mutually inspiring team. Both of the similar-sounding musicians were competitive, influenced by (but not imitative of) Charlie Parker, and really knew bebop. This CD reissue (which adds two selections from the same session that were originally part of the sampler Bird Feathers) features the two ...

Swingchronicity (2007) more music like this

by Phil Woods/DePaul University Jazz Ensemble

At the time this recording was made in the spring of 2006, the DePaul University Jazz Ensemble was one of the top college jazz bands. With tight ensembles and inspired solos by its members, the big band is heard live at the Jazz Showcase in Chicago, directed by veteran educator Bob Lark, who is also a fine trumpeter and flugelhornist. The band ...

Astor & Elis (1996) more music like this

by Phil Woods

Phil Woods can usually be counted on to record consistently explosive bop-oriented sets with his regular quintet but Astor & Elis is quite different. The altoist dedicates the performance to the singer Elis Regina, the influential modern tango composer Astor Piazzolla and indirectly to Dizzy Gillespie. Joined by a sextet that includes the talented ...

The Sky Could Send You (2005) more music like this

by Sherri Roberts/Phil Woods/Lew Soloff

An appealing jazz singer from the San Francisco Bay area, Sherri Roberts has a nice voice, always swings, and is not afraid to stretch herself. On The Sky Could Send You she utilizes a variety of guest artists, including altoist Phil Woods on three numbers, but she is the main focus throughout. Her repertoire, which includes a rhythmically complex ...

Jazz Latino: A Collection of Latin Inspirations (2001) more music like this

by Various Artists

Culled from the Chesky Latin jazz archives, Jazz Latino: A Collection of Latin Inspirations takes 13 songs from 12 different artists (saxophonist Paquito d'Rivera has two tracks, "The Peanut Vendor" and "Chucho"), including Mongo Santamaria, Astor Piazzolla (who, unsurprisingly, plays a tango), and Leny Andrade. Because the compilation is only ...

Early Morning Jazz for Lovers (1999) more music like this

by Various Artists

A bargain-priced CD, Early Morning Jazz for Lovers provides a soft, but not saccharine, 40 minutes of music for first thing in the morning romance. There's an interesting conglomeration of musicians represented on this disk, to say the least. From the Charlie Parker-influenced Phil Woods to the enigmatic, sometimes quirky clarinet player Pee Wee ...

Anything Goes (1998) more music like this

by Stephane Grappelli & Phil Woods

The 1987 recording Anything Goes teams together violinist Stephane Grappelli with altoist Phil Woods. The combination is very logical and successful, with the two veteran greats clearly inspired by each other's presence and blending together quite well. Joined by a three-piece pianoless rhythm section that includes drummer Louie Bellson, Grappelli ...

Full House (1991) more music like this

by Phil Woods Quintet

A September 1991 live set recorded with trombonist Hal Crook, pianist Jim McNeely, drummer Bill Goodwin, and bassist Steve Gilmore, Full House isn't quite a jam session, but more of an opportunity for these players and alto saxophonist/reedsman Phil Woods to stretch out and loosen up in a live set. Only one of the six tracks, the relatively ...

Taking time off from his combo projects, altoist Phil Woods and his quartet (also including pianist Mike Melillo, bassist Steve Gilmore and drummer Bill Goodwin) teamed up with a British orchestra (which includes trumpeter Kenny Wheeler, keyboardist Gordon Beck and a string quartet) on this album to pay tribute through Woods' compositions to eight ...

Souvenirs (1997) more music like this

by Phil Woods

A die-hard bopper, alto saxophonist Phil Woods nonetheless manages to push the boundaries of straight-ahead hard bop on Souvenirs. As far as the '90s go, this is one of Woods' best. This version of Woods' quintet, most notably featuring trumpeter Brian Lynch, is a solid entity with much forward momentum. Lynch, a member of Art Blakey's last Jazz ...

An Affair to Remember (1993) more music like this

The Phil Woods Quintet generally makes a point of featuring original material by its members, but not on this album, a collection of movie songs from the '30s through the '60s. Some, like "Invitation" and "On Green Dolphin Street," went on to become perennial jam session standards, while others, like Michel Legrand's "His Eyes, Her Eyes," aren't ...
