by George Kanzler
When pianist Jim McNeely replaced Hal Galper in the Phil Woods Quintet in 1990 it was the current winner--repeating in 1991--of the Downbeat Readers Poll as top jazz small group.

Phil Woods Business-Casual Sax with Nonchalant Wit
The alto saxophonist Phil Woods wore his mastery with nonchalance at Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola on Thursday night. Leading his quintet, a working band with a wealth of accumulated knowledge, he kept a loosely efficient air: business casual, with equal emphasis on both words.
