Phil Woods Little Big Band - 1987 - International Jazz Fest Amsterdam

The Phil Woods Little Big Band at the (NOS) International Jazz Festival Amsterdam (de Meervaart), 13 August 1987.

Almost 75 minutes of the octet in its initial stage, with Jimmy Knepper on trombone. Before they recorded two CDs on the Concord (1988) and Chesky labels (1990), where Jimmy Knepper had been replaced by Hal Crook.

My tapings of the Dutch radio broadcasts: the whole concert was recorded and later broadcast in three segments during successive weeks: tracks 1-2; tracks 3-5; and tracks 6-10. I kept some of the first opening and last closing announcements of the late Michiel de Ruyter.

Enjoy!


Musicians:
Tom Harrell (tp), Jimmy Knepper (tb), Phil Woods (as, cl), Nelson Hill (ts, as), Nick Brignola (bars), Hal Galper (p), Steve Gilmore (b), Bill Goodwin (dr).
