5 out of 5 stars Another Fine CD by the Master of the Bop Vocabulary and.......2006-02-18

certainly one of the top living alto saxists.

The most notable facts of this particular recording session is that it is the first appearance by exceptionally fine trombonist Hal Crook, who replaced trumpeter Tom Harrell in the quintet, and the final appearance of pianist Hal Galper.

The set consists of six originals and three standards, all of which are sufficiently diguised so much as to not be immediately recognizable. The standards are treated entirely as jazz vehicles as opposed to sentimental ballads.

Of the originals, the title composition by Woods is high energy.
Hal Galper's "Gotham Serenade" is a beautiful melancholy ballad. Hal Crook's "Ixatlan is a rather moody post-bop blues. Phil Woods's "My Man Benny" certainly captures the sound of Benny Carter both in style and composition. Woods switches to clarinet on the Benny Carter composition "Just A Mood" which features an excellent muted trombone solo by Crook, the whole thing having a slightly New Orleans flavor. " Ole Dude" is another entusiastic piece.

Phil Woods is an artist who is very passionate, never seems to coast, and always is creative and enthusiastic. Anyone who enjoys great bop or post-bop in a quintet setting, or is otherwise a fan of these musicians , will welcome this addition to their collections.
