{"product_id":"phil-woods-rights-of-swing-lp-vinyl","title":"Phil Woods – Rights Of Swing","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhil Woods spent the late 1950s and early 1960s at the center of some of the most consequential bebop sessions of the era, appearing on records with artists ranging from Thelonious Monk to Buddy Rich before stepping fully into his own voice as a leader. Recorded in 1961 for Candid, one of the great independent jazz labels, Rights of Swing captures Woods at a pivotal moment, writing and arranging for a larger ensemble at a time when most of his peers were still working in small-group formats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePHIL WOODS \/ RIGHTS OF SWING - When he first came on the scene, Phil Woods was often referred to as \"The New Bird,\" in a nod to the legendary Charlie Parker. A testament to his genius on the saxophone to be sure. But while obviously indebted to Parker - as all modern jazz saxophonists of a certain era were - there is no question that Phil Woods was an original. After earning a degree in music from Juilliard in the early 1950's, Woods found himself in the orbit of the great Quincy Jones. At Jones' invitation Woods joined Dizzy Gillespie's infamous Jazz Ambassadors - a tour sponsored by the US State Department as part of a global cultural diplomacy initiative - and subsequently became a member of Jones' own touring band. This recording, his 9th album as a band leader, consists entirely of Woods' five-part Rights of Swing Suite. An ambitious large-scale composition based solidly on jazz traditions. A culmination of the influences the then 30 year artist had absorbed. Arguably considered one of Woods finest recordings, the record features a stellar section made up of Wood's fellow Quincy Jones band members. (It should be noted that these same musicians, for the most part, are also the section on Benny Bailey's Candid Records recording, Big Brass, recorded a a few months prior in November of 1960). Recorded at the Nola Penthouse Studios in New Your City on two dates in January and February of 1961, and conducted by Quincy Jones. The LP includes extraordinary liner notes by Candid A\u0026amp;R man and producer Nat Hentoff, and in-depth commentary from Woods himself, giving a context and insight that adds to the experience of hearing these extraordinary performances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Prelude And Part I (7:00)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Part II (Ballad) (7:38)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Part III (Waltz) (5:39)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Part IV (Scherzo) (11:19)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Part V (Presto) (7:17)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 708857320813\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Candid\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.25.23\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- discogs-import --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"discogs-import\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barnaby Records (BR 5016)  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eReleased:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1977  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e US\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA1 Prelude And Part I – 7:00\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA2 Part II (Ballad) – 7:38\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA3 Part III (Waltz) – 5:39\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB1 Part IV (Scherzo) – 11:19\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB2 Part V (Presto) – 7:17\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCredits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhil Woods – Alto Saxophone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSahib Shihab – Baritone Saxophone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuddy Catlett – Bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhil Woods – Composed By, Arranged By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMickey Roker – Drums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOsie Johnson – Drums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBob D'Orleans – Engineer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJulius Watkins – French Horn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNat Hentoff – Liner Notes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTommy Flanagan – Piano\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNat Hentoff – Recording Supervisor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHoward Silvers – Supervised By (Executive Supervision)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLinda Snider – Supervised By (Production)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurtis Fuller – Trombone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWillie Dennis – Trombone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBenny Bailey – Trumpet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"relix.shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54555153269054,"sku":"476624","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4609\/5166\/files\/12635506671934-transparent-v2.png?v=1791443494","url":"https:\/\/reserveselects.myshopify.com\/products\/phil-woods-rights-of-swing-lp-vinyl","provider":"Reserve Selects","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
