 | | He led his own small groups, co-led a band with Gene Quill, played in bands led by artists such as Buddy Rich, Cecil Payne, Thelonious Monk, Quincy Jones and Benny Goodman, and worked as a studio musician and recorded extensively, including appearing on Benny Carter's 1961 FURTHER DEFINITIONS. |
 | | Woods led this band until his return to the USA in the early '70s where, in 1973, he formed a new quartet which met with great critical and commercial acclaim. |
 | | Woods began playing alto saxophone as a child, studied later at the Juilliard School of Music in New York and by his early '20s had already made a significant mark on jazz. |
