	The Official Phil Woods Web Site - Reviews
		Woods carries the lion's share of the solos, and while the rhythm section is competent, the reeds and brass have problems consistently staying in tune on several of the songs.
		Phil Woods has recorded with many different musicians for the Philology label, but this meeting with the Big Bang Orchestra, led by Mario Raja, had to overcome the lack of suitable studios to come to fruition, finally ending up in an empty disco that was closed to the public.
		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.

	New Phil Woods Album: Reviews, Discography, Audio Clips, and more \|\|\| Music.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Phil Woods desired to put together a large ensemble for this ambitious 1975 album, expanding his quartet (Mike Mellilo, Steve Gilmore, and Bill Goodwin) to a large orchestra with the addition of brass and strings.
		Woods' medley of Billy Strayhorn 's gorgeous ballad "Chelsea Bridge" and his own snappy tribute to the legendary star of Duke Ellington 's orchestra, "Johnny Hodges," the latter featuring the leader on soprano sax, is easily the highlight of this release.
		Less memorable are Woods' extended "Sun Suite" and an interpretation of rocker Janis Ian 's "At Seventeen." This LP is still fairly easy to find, although it has been out of print for decades, and it is worth picking up for serious fans of Phil Woods.

	Voce E Eu - Phil Woods - Song Listings
		Among the surprises that producer Paolo Piangiarelli pulled on Phil Woods during a marathon seven recording sessions over a span of five days during the spring of 2000 was matching him with pianist Stefano Bollani and singer Barbara Casini, neither of whom were familiar to Woods, in a program of...
		Woods' personal highlight may be his gorgeous playing on the ballad "Avarandado," although he is in top form throughout the date.
		As Woods surmised in his notes, a rhythm section would be a superfluous addition since the talented Bollani takes care of that role by himself, as well as providing a variety of interesting supporting lines for the singer and the saxophonist.

	Phil Woods : Play Woods - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Phil Woods and Lee Konitz had a great time sharing the stage with a number of Italian musicians over a several-day stretch at the 2003 Umbria Jazz Festival.
		With the Philology label on-hand to tape the concerts, four volumes were put together, with this edition concentrating on Woods' considerable skill as a composer.
		The lush waltz "Petite Chanson" has a bittersweet air, followed by Woods' memorable tribute to the late Benny Carter (another master of great melodies and the alto sax), "My Man Benny." It was only natural to follow it with one of Carter's greatest works, the lush ballad "Summer Serenade," which is beautifully interpreted.

	ZCPortal - Concert Review: Phil Woods Live at Jazz Club Unterfahrt
		There’s no greater jazz saxophonist in the world than Phil Woods, and his stunning performance at the Jazz Club Unterfahrt in Munich on Saturday, January 25th proved that at age 71 he’s still playing at the top of his game.
		Phil Woods made his first appearance of the night on the next number, a swinging version of “It Could Happen to You” that was very much in the Rob McConnell/Bob Brookmeyer style.
		When Woods returned to the stage he once again played magnificently, especially in “How’s Your Mama,” his theme song that is a fast swinger which quotes from about twenty tunes ranging from “Salt Peanuts” to “Harlem Nocturne.” For an encore Woods and the band performed “I Remember Bird,” a slow blues.

	CD Baby: PHIL WOODS: This Is How I Feel About Quincy
		"As this marvelous record so eloquently bears out, Phil Woods today is at the very top of his form-and that, my friends, is a claim based on nearly fifty years (help!) of listening to this extraordinary artist, live and on record.
		This is not the place for even a brief resume of Q.'s amazing career; suffice it to say that by then he had already developed an original voice as an arranger and composer and paid his dues as a member of Lionel Hampton's trumpet section, sitting next to Clifford Brown and Art Farmer.
		(Digression: It is a tribute to Phil as a person as well as a musician that he has been able to maintain his own regularly constituted group for lo, these many years; Steve Gilmore and Bill Goodwin were on board when the quartet started in 1974; it became a quintet nine years later.
