Description
This CD showcases 1957 recordings by brilliant alto sax player Phil Woods (born in Springfield, Massachusetts, on November 2, 1931; he died on September 29, 2015 at the age of 83). 1957 was a decisive year in Wood's career due to the formation of his celebrated quintet with Gene Quill. On the first eight tracks, consisting of the LP Warm Woods, Phil is showcased fronting his own quartet with pianist Bob Corwin, bassist Sonny Dallas and drummer Nick Stabulas.
In addition to the aforementioned set, two other sessions recorded by Woods in 1957 as bonus tracks. The first date features the saxophonist leading a septet which includes trombonist Eddie Bert, pianist (and vibraphonist) Eddie Costa, and guitarist Sal Salvador. The session's material consists of one standard tune and two original compositions, the first by Woods and the second by Salvador. The other session features Woods as a member of a sextet directed by pianist Nat Pierce, which also includes trumpeter Burt Collins, and an exceptional rhythm section featuring Barry Galbraith. The band recorded two standards and two originals by Pierce.
