Phil Woods
Born:
Phil Woods joined the jazz music scene in New York during the late 1940’s when bebop was gaining popularity as the new direction of American jazz. After graduating from Juilliard Music School Phil quickly gained fame by joining the Birdland All Stars Tour of 1956, and then the Dizzy Gillespie State Department Tour throughout the Middle East. During the late 1950’s Phil worked with jazz luminaries including Quincy Jones and Thelonious Monk. Phil’s partnership with Gene Quill in the late 1950’s established Phil as a major jazz star and led to many exciting recordings during the 1960’s

Seth Kibel: Clarinet, Without a Net
by Jack Bowers
The late great Phil Woods once observed that the clarinet “was invented by six guys who had never met each other," which is another way of saying it is more than challenging to play. It is a challenge that woodwind virtuoso Seth Kibel accepted years ago and has spent much of his career as an award-winning ...
Thelonious Monk: Live In Paris, 1967. Volume Two
by Jack Kenny
This is magnificent music: an important document of a unique European tour that places Thelonious Monk in a different context from his regular quartet with Charlie Rouse. While many unauthorised recordings of the nonet (the nine piece) circulated over the decades, this official release offers a uniquely clear and authoritative record of this aspect of Monk's ...
Rob van Bavel: The Ghost, the King and I featuring Scott Hamilton & Strings
by Jack Bowers
As near as can be deduced, The Ghost, the King and I is a Netherlands-based trio comprised of pianist Rob van Bavel, guitarist Vincent Koning and bassist Frans van Geest. After performing in concert with acclaimed American tenor saxophonist Scott Hamilton and Salon de Musique, a three-member string group from South Korea, van Bavel and his ...
Thelonious Monk: Monk Live In Paris 1967 Volume One
by Jack Kenny
This Paris concert formed part of a European tour organized by the impresario George Wein, who had previously presented numerous Thelonious Monk Quartet engagements. Seeking something different, Wein proposed an expanded ensemble. Monk was initially reluctant to depart from the quartet format and only agreed after considerable persuasion. Crucially, he retained artistic control: he selected the ...
Michael Mordecai: The Man Who Keeps Austin Jazz Moving
by Hank Hehmsoth
Michael Mordecai has spent decades inside the machinery of Austin jazz: on the bandstand, behind the phone, at the booking desk, in the contractor's chair and in the community rooms where musicians, venues and advocates try to keep the music visible. His work has never fit neatly into a single category. Mordecai is a trombonist, bandleader, ...
Thelonious Monk: Live In Paris 1967 Volume One
by Joshua Weiner
The discography of Thelonious Monk, bebop architect, composer of enduring standards and idiosyncratically influential pianist, is vast. In addition to Monk's genre-defining studio recordings, several live sets were released during his lifetime, including a notable series put out by Columbia Records during Monk's time on that most major of major labels, from 1962 to 1968. Live ...
