About this product
Product Information
2021 Book of the Year - Jazz Journalists Association Phil Woods was an American original. One of the greatest saxophonists of all time, he was the first call for Quincy Jones, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, and Oliver Nelson. His iconic improvisation on Billy Joel's hit song Just the Way You Are is quite likely the most played instrumental solo in the world. His popularity soared while an expat in Europe during the cultural revolution of the late sixties and early seventies. Upon his return to the States, Woods formed a band that would perform together for four decades. Grammy Awards, dozens of DownBeat Readers Poll victories, and designation as a National Endowment of the Arts Jazz Master would follow. Life in E Flat is the unvarnished self-portrait of an artist who loved and lived a life of bebop. Phil Woods lived all the tropes of the 20th century American artist: defiant modernist, reverent traditionalist, mid-century family man, countercultural nonconformist, homebody, expatriate and road rat; young Turk and grand master. He possessed an abundance of gifts along with the determination to put the hard work in to realize every facet of them, and the great good fortune to grow up blessed by the mentorship of the most distinguished exponents of a golden age of Black American Music. His story tracks the changes of this old world through over three quarters of a century of music and life, informing us of what has been gained and lost, reminding us of what happened and what still needs to be done. - Brian Lynch, Grammy Award-winning trumpeter, composer, and educator I would have to give Phil Woods' sax solo on Just The Way You Are credit for making that a hit record. - Billy Joel Mr. Phil Woods left an indelible impression on me as a composer, arranger, and instrumentalist. A sincere active transmitter on the stage! - Eddie Palmieri, ten time Grammy Award winner and NEA Jazz Master I never worked with a better musician at the same time so unpretentious about the depth, breadth, and total scope of his knowledge and his playing. You hear his unmistakable voice in both his alto saxophone and every note of his very much underrated writing. Phil Woods was a supreme singer and swinger of the music he loved and served so passionately. Equally jazz and man... - Todd Barkan, Keystone Korner Baltimore and NEA Jazz Master Phil Woods was a wonderful alto player, a great musician that was at home in any musical situation. His autobiography is a must-read for all jazz fans and musician alike. - Charles McPherson, saxophonist and composer Phil was in a class of his own....musically of course. But he also had an ear for language... caustic at times, but always honest and heartfelt... truly one of a kind! - Dave Liebman, NEA Jazz Master
