Phil Woods

Featuring:Phil Woods (as), Jon Eardley (tp),George Syran, John Williams (p), Teddy Kotick (b), Nick Stabulas (d)

When altoistPhil Woods (1931-2015) made his leader debut on record in 1954 his majorinfluence was Bird, but his own style was already emerging on both his firstalbum and on the second, recorded the following year with the same quintet.With four men, including Woods, in their 20s—bassist Teddy Kotick was the soleveteran—the group was full of fire and vigour; trumpeter Eardley, later to joinGerry Mulligan, made his recording debut here, as did pianist George Syran anddrummer Nick Stabulas. But both 10-inch albums have much more than youthfulzest to commend them. The playing is rich, accurate and full of imagination,with stimulating originals garnished by the warm and sensitive soloing of Woodsand Eardley in particular, their assured contributions ably backed by a rhythmsection solidly buttressed by Teddy Kotick, who had played with Bird, Getz andothers.“Woodlore,” the third album here, was Woods’ first 12-inch LP of his own, andthe first set on which he was the only horn. His swinging alto is moving andemotional, with an almost ferocious individuality of conception, and the rhythmsection, with John Williams on piano, and again with Stabulas and a superbKotick, exuberantly embraces the group temperament and intensity of Pot Pie (Eardley) 5:14
