As part of its 40th anniversary celebration, Chesky Records is proud to reissue Phil Woods' Here's To My Lady
Originally released in 1989 as an early milestone for the label, this landmark session teams the legendary alto saxophonist - then at the absolute peak of his powers at age 57 - with the incomparable Tommy Flanagan Trio . A titan of the genre for over 60 years, Woods masterfully combined a lush, beautiful tone with a complete command of the bebop vocabulary. Backed by veteran pianist Tommy Flanagan, former Oscar Peterson Trio bassist George Mraz, and a young, up-and-coming Kenny Washington on drums, the quartet delivers a timeless set of acoustic jazz that sounds as vital and vibrant today as it did nearly four decades ago.
The album showcases the quartet tackling a brilliant, wide- ranging repertoire with effortless sophistication. The tracklist balances post- bop originals by modern masters like Tom Harrell and Hal Galper alongside deeply personal tributes to jazz royalty, including Johnny Hodges and Charlie Parker. From passionate, aching ballads to fiery, uptempo swing explorations, Woods' lyricism takes center stage. Listeners are also treated to a rare and highly personal showcase of Woods' virtuosity on the clarinet, an instrument he commands with the same warmth and distinctive character as his legendary alto on three of the album's tracks.
Captured during the early years of Chesky Records, the album serves as a masterclass in pure, unadulterated group chemistry and audiophile engineering. The performance breathes with a lively, "in- the- room" presence that highlights every nuance of the ensemble's interplay.
Here's To My Lady is reissued on Stereo Hybrid SACD and 180g One- step Pressing Vinyl LP as part of the Chesky Original Masters series.
