 Charles Mingus in the 1950s
More importantly, it captured his interest in music in general, leading up to his adoption of the trombone.
A few years later, Mingus' friend Britt Woodman took him to a Duke Ellington concert, which had been a long-time wish of Mingus.
Britt had to hold me. Some place, something he did, I screamed" (Priestley 7).

 What's Happening in October? ~ O'Connor Piano, MIDI Keyboard and Organ Studio   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Woodman was featured in Ellington numbers including Sonnet To Hank V (from "Such Sweet Thunder") and Red Garter (from "Toot Suite").
Piano was Woodman's first instrument, but soon he was playing trombone, saxophone and clarinet as well.
Britt Woodman played in such swing-oriented ensembles as the Les Hite Band in the late 1930s, and later played with the iconoclastic Boyd Raeburn Band.

 Playing for Keeps: Reviews, Track Listing, Audio Clips, and more ||| Music.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
This CD matches together three under-recorded veterans: trumpeter Joe Wilder [+] (69 at the time of the 1992 session), trombonist Britt Woodman [+] and tenor-saxophonist John LaPorta [+] (the latter two were both 71).
Although Wilder and Woodman both show their age at times, the trumpeter's tone remains one of the prettiest ones around while Woodman (wa-waaing his way through "Britt's Blues") often steals the show with his spirited solos.
LaPorta, doubling between tenor and clarinet, was never a major stylist but his fairly complex playing still sounds quite viable.

 Jazz | All About Jazz
AAJ: There are many not so obscure musicians here, in fact people who played a vital role in jazz, for instance trombonist Britt Woodman, a future Ellingtonian and long-time Mingus collaborator, and Britt Woodman's brother, William, a tenor player with a sound like 1930's era tenor man Chu Berry.
AAJ: Then on "Lonesome Woman Blues" Brother Woodman plays tenor saxophone; apparently one of his main influences was Chu Berry.
Mingus's bass is prominent in the arrangement, which was influenced by Duke Ellington--as Jimmy Blanton was put in the forefront of some of his arrangements from 1940.

 Debut LP 120: Blue Moods
If Duke Ellington would listen to There's No You, which event I very much doubt, he would find some incentive for writing again.
Because here Ellington trombonist Britt Woodman plays with an eloquence which has to preclude the further use that Duke makes of him as a Lawrence Brown voice.
Here, too, as on the other two arrangements of Teddy's, is the clever anticipation, in written lines, of what Miles will express, as well as Teddy's beautiful solo.

 Metroactive Music | Debut Records
Some privately recorded sessions from the late '40s by Parker groups also turn up on the collection, along with important early postbop tracks by the combos of Kenny Dorham, Roach and Oscar Pettiford.
Some of the groups Debut recorded featured unusual instrumentation, such as one containing four trombones (including J.J. Johnson and Kai Winding) and a rhythm section, and a Miles Davis quintet that used a trombonist (Britt Woodman) and a vibist (Teddy Charles) instead of a saxophonist and a pianist.
Mingus, however, came to the fore as an avant-garde composer/arranger bassist, and not surprisingly, this side of him was well represented on Debut, where he was free to create without the constraints of other producers.

This underrated Chiaroscuro CD is a joy from start to finish.
The standards and riff tunes give all of the horn players solo space and it is a particular joy to hear Britt Woodman [+] and Haywood Henry [+] (the latter near the end of his life) getting some feature spots.
Highlights include "Swinging the Blues," "For Dancers Only" and "Just Squeeze Me." After 55 minutes of music Clark Terry [+] is heard on the 19-minute "Jazzspeak," verbally telling informative stories about his lengthy career, some of which are quite humorous.
