Phil Woods: Groovin' to Marty Paich
by Jack Bowers
More than 45 years ago, arranger Marty Paich and alto saxophone legend Art Pepper recorded the benchmark album Art Pepper + Eleven, on which Pepper and a mini-big band performed Paich's superlative charts. Fast forward to May 2004, when Ken Poston and the Los Angeles Jazz Institute presented Springsville, a four-day festival celebrating the Birth of ...
Phil Woods: Groovin' to Marty Paich
by Geoff Roach
What a difference 45 years makes. But 45 years don't change a thing.

Phil Woods and Carl Saunders: Play Henry Mancini
by Jack Bowers
