  • I used to play with Phil at the Pink Elephant in Brooklyn many years ago..He always was a hard swingin' cat...I'm glad to see he is still around..So few of us are...

  • anyone know the players?

  • Phil would call it "speed and teeth". YEAH!

  • I think that guy "Woods" enjoy wearing a jacket ( without necktie ) and a hat! anyway he's good.

  • I'm learning how to play this on the piano!

  • This old toad really played this song but I know he lied about who the composer was because he also took some lyrical solos from several of Charlie Parker's songs but any its get work!!! i Liked it

  • @quanclarke I meant great work with this song

  • *beasts

  • Man these two guys are beats!!

  • Sad he doesn't know who wrote this song :(

  • Pietro Iodice, my teacher....a motherfucker swingman!!!

  • I just love it when people quote some nice lines and melodies, it's a great indicator of havin' fun :D

  • Yeah Whirlin' Bird. Haha

  • coolness

  • My favorite saxophonist is Phil Woods. I believe he is the best out there.

  • Oh Phil Woods always had it! I first heard him on an album titled "Rich vs. Roach," cut on the Mercury label (circa 1959). One could hear the sharp, quick wit unique to the alto sax blended with how Woods himself complemented the alto sax's very nature -- quick and fleeting, saucy, sassy: the unique personality of the Alto' came through. Stanley Turrentine also featured on that album. Wow.

    Phil's sound was 'so' Jazz , and from thereon I knew I would keep my ears peeled to one Phil Woods.

  • At 3:03, shortly after quoting "Groovin High," he quotes "Santa Claus is Coming to Town." This video, by the way, was shot in Tel Aviv, Israel.

  • @katella12 at 6:22 he quotes st thomas

  • Phil is the best alto player you will ever hear in your life.Get over the Bird hang up and open your ears to cats that can make the alto tell a story.Phil is my hero and has taught me so much about how the alto sax is to be played the right way.I so love him and his Jill and they are my dear friends and will be always. Sal Alberico

  • very nice!

  • haha nice job robert. HAHA I love the st. thomas lick in your solo robert and I also loved the goovin' high lick by phil. Liked the video.

  • I love this

  • FUCKIN GOOD! AMAZING

  • Phil is the best alto player on the face of the earth. Although Robert is real close. He should be, he's probably the best student Phil ever had.

  • Comment removed

  • i like when woods added groovin' high into his solo

  • someone listens to alot of phil woods! Robert! ha
