	Woody Shaw - Biography
		Shaw resisted the trend in the 1970s away from acoustic jazz music, eschewing jazz-rock "fusion" in favor of further refining the acoustic traditions begun in the bop era.
		By 1978, Shaw was rated the top jazz trumpet player in the prestigious Downbeat Magazine poll and his record, "Rosewood," was the No. 1 jazz album in the same poll.
		Shaw continue to release albums under a variety of labels, including Red, Enja, Elektra, Muse, and Timeless, but never regained the stature for which he seemed destined in the mid 1970s.

		Woody Shaw, a member of the Horace Silver unit since June, 1965, is one of the new generation of jazzmen who--like drummer Tony Williams--reveal such stunning technical skill and conceptual inventiveness while still in their teens.
		Woody was born in Laurinburg, North Carolina, on December 24, 1944, but was raised in Newark, New Jersey.
		Shaw came anyway, and free-lanced there with Larry Young, Kenny Clarke, Donald Byrd and Nathan Davis before being invited by Horace Silver to join him.

	Amazon.ca: Woody Shaw Live, Volume One: Music: Woody Shaw (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Woody Shaw was a major voice in jazz when this recording was made in 1977, a trumpeter with few equals who could balance bravura skills and saxophone-like fluency with inspired invention, whose every leaping solo was an amalgam of cool logic and emotive fire.
		While many had converted to fusion, Shaw remained loyal to acoustic postbop in its most advanced form, continuing to develop the mix of complex harmonies, modality, and demanding rhythms that had characterized the mid-'60s work of Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter, and Herbie Hancock.
		This is the second album I bought with Woody Shaw on it (the other being UNITY with Larry YOUNG 5 stars...).

		Shaw's tone was ultraconfident, hard when it ought to be and then flowingly loose elsewhere.
		Shaw's bands for this session, which range from a quintet to a 15-piece, all embrace a wide flange of expertise, from fast, albeit rounded, rhythms to occasional flights outward by Joe Henderson and Shaw himself.
		Woody was a passionate, intriguing, intellectual and masterful soloist.

		This and the other posthumous Shaw releases on 32 Jazz show '90s listeners that the achievements he managed in his too-short life were plenty on which to base a legacy.
		Shaw's individualistic sense of phrasing and distaste for wasted notes invests these old chestnuts with new life.
		Trumpeter Woody Shaw should have been among the best known jazz trumpeters of his era, but his personal problems and early death ended his career tragically early.

		Originally a two-fer on vinyl and now on one CD, Shaw's debut as a leader is one of the first "free bop" sessions, in many ways his answer to Bitches Brew.
		Shaw's bright melodicism, hard edged swing and refusal to compromise are his greatest assets.
		As much as the music is the thing, it is the singular presence of Shaw that refracts many colors of light and dark, like a multi-hued beacon directing many ships to port.

		Here is Volume Four in the ongoing series of Woody's live performances from the richly fertile early 80s where Woody kept the company of Steve Turre, Victor Lewis, Stafford James and Larry Willis.
		Woody Shaw's wide range of experiences was something that had a significant impact on the development of his own personal style and musical voice.
		Shaw's influences ranged from early jazz to Bela Bartok and yet he incorporated such varied tastes into an extremely rooted yet completely original approach to improvisation.

		The leaping intervals characteristic of Shaw's playing and his ability to just pull out the stops and swing are evidenced in full force on "Rahsaan's Run" (also by Shaw) and on "Sunshowers" by Clint Houston.

	Bemsha Swing - Woody Shaw - Music Reviews
		Woody Shaw's premature and tragic death in 1989 robbed the jazz world of one of its most important trumpeters.
		Pianist Geri Allen was already a young giant at the time, sounding quite original with touches of Herbie Nichols in her voicings, and bassist Robert Hurst was just starting to become known, while veteran drummer Roy Brooks (who recorded the date) was a familiar name.
		This highly recommended set was one of Woody Shaw's last great recordings.

		Woody Herman Shaw was born on December 24, 1944 in Laurinburg, NC, and raised in Newark, NJ.
		Woody's and Henderson's progressive styles are perhaps not the perfect complements to Silver's funkier niche, but the mixture of the two sounds great to this author.
		Woody himself admits he is not particularly proud of either of these albums in a Coda interview: "some of the cuts were really not worthy of release".

		Woody Shaw's Live Volume One contains four previously unissued live tracks cut in 1977.
		These are extraordinary post bop, up-tempo pieces with plenty of improvising solo space shared between Shaw and tenor/soprano saxophonist Carter Jefferson, admirably backed up by Larry Willis on piano, Stafford James on bass, and Victor Lewis drums.
		Just about any Woody Shaw session stands the test of time and this HighNote live date is no exception.

		To further the connection, Shaw uses a Harmon mute during these numbers, and the arrangements are even reminiscent of the Davis versions.
		These numbers are well-performed, and Shaw is by no means carbon-copying Miles' licks, but there is an uncomfortable feeling of homage slipping into imitation.
		The other two numbers are in Shaw's more familiar modal mode and have more energy.

		This LP would be recommended if only for trumpeter Woody Shaw's autobiographical liner notes which definitively sum up both this recording and his career up to 1972.
		Four of Shaw's originals are interpreted by a sextet also including Emanuel Boyd on flute and tenor, keyboardist George Cables, bassist Henry Franklin, drummer Woodrow Theus II, tenorman Ramon Morris (on two songs) and Bennie Maupin on tenor for "The Goat And The Archer." The music falls between hard bop, modal musings and the avant-garde.
		Although possessing a tone similar to Freddie Hubbard's, Woody Shaw was a more advanced player and his solos throughout the date are both original and consistently exciting.
