Phil Woods: Groovin' to Marty Paich

Read "Groovin' to Marty Paich" reviewed 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

Read "Groovin' to Marty Paich" reviewed by Geoff Roach


What a difference 45 years makes. But 45 years don't change a thing. If this sounds like an obvious conflict, you should listen to Phil Woods and the Los Angeles Jazz Orchestra play twelve classic arrangements by Marty Paich. Paich is one of the unsung heroes of music as a pianist, composer, and arranger. Phil Woods ...

Read "This Is How I Feel About Quincy" reviewed by Jack Bowers


Phil Woods and Quincy Jones have shared a personal friendship and musical camaraderie for almost half a century, and Woods' newest album, This Is How I Feel About Quincy, is neither a spurious nor spur-of-the-moment homage but one whose sincerity is as clear as its meticulous planning and execution.
