Flip Phillips & Woody Herman • Together Flip & Woody

 

Review by Scott Yanow
Over 30 years after The First Herd broke up, Flip Phillips had a reunion with Woody Herman for this LP. The emphasis is on ballads and Phillips plays beautifully throughout, but this set lacks variety (only "There Is No Greater Love" is taken at a medium pace). Still, within its limitations and with the orchestra itself mostly playing a supporting role, Phillips and Herman (the latter particularly on alto) blend very well together on this pretty music.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Más de 30 años después de que The First Herd se separara, Flip Phillips se reunió con Woody Herman para este LP. El énfasis está en las baladas y Phillips toca de maravilla en todo momento, pero a este set le falta variedad (sólo «There Is No Greater Love» está tomada a un ritmo medio). Sin embargo, dentro de sus limitaciones y con la orquesta desempeñando sobre todo un papel secundario, Phillips y Herman (este último sobre todo en la contralto) se compenetran muy bien en esta bonita música.
