It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Phil Woods

My favorite is 'Rights Of Swing', and orchestral jazz effort from the 60s. Gorgeous stuff, particularly if you Miles 'Miles Ahead' or 'Sketches Of Spain', stuff done with Gil Evans.

His earlier hard bop is very high quality as well, try 'The Young Bloods' with Donald Byrd on Prestige/OJC. If you like Donald Byrd's playing, look for some of his Blue Note work, such as 'Fuego' or 'The Cat Walk', both recent RVG remasters IIRC.

I like the later stuff as well, recorded in Europe in the 80s, such as 'Bop Stew' and 'Boquet'. Great stuff IMHO.

Glad you're having fun! Try some sound clips at Amazon to see if the above might float your boat.

Enjoy the Lucinda, I haven't picked up 'West' as yet, the vinyl version is just out IIRC. How would you compare it to 'Essence' or 'Car Wheels..'?
