Phil Woods • The Rev & I

 

Review by Tim Sheridan
With an easy bop sensibility, Woods cuts loose on a number of originals and a few surprising chestnuts for a strong set. Fellow reed player Johnny Griffin (the two played in Monk's nonet in the late '60s) and the fine rhythm section of Cedar Walton on piano, Ben Riley on drums and Peter Washington on bass all make great contributions. On the title track, Woods and Griffin swing in a relaxed bossa nova style, while "I'm So Scared of Girls When They're Good Looking" is by turns doleful and good-humored. All in all, a charming set.

Crítica de Tim Sheridan
Con una sensibilidad de bop fácil, Woods se suelta en una serie de originales y algunos sorprendentes clásicos para un conjunto fuerte. Su compañero Johnny Griffin (los dos tocaron en el noneto de Monk a finales de los 60) y la excelente sección rítmica de Cedar Walton al piano, Ben Riley a la batería y Peter Washington al bajo hacen grandes contribuciones. En el tema que da título al disco, Woods y Griffin se mecen en un relajado estilo de bossa nova, mientras que «I'm So Scared of Girls When They're Good Looking» es por momentos melancólico y de buen humor. En definitiva, un conjunto encantador.
