Woods formed this band right after a move to Europe in 1968 that revitalized his career and his music. Tonight s Jazz Feature is from a concert that took place at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. The band included Mr. Woods on alto saxophone, George Gruntz on piano, Henri Texier on bass and the great Daniel Humair on drums. Four selections make up the repertoire beginning with Gruntz "Capricci Cavallereschi". This is followed by Leonard Feather s composition "I Remember Bird" that is followed by Carla Bley s tune "Ad Infinitum" and ends with a furious version of Herbie Hancock s "Riot". That is tonight s Jazz Feature and it s some of the most passionate Jazz music you will ever hear thanks to Mr. Woods and company!.Phil WoodsPhil Woods and His Europea
