| This is Phil Woods at his prime. While I still think his best album is "Birds of a Feather" (one of the best alto saxophone albums of all time, in my opinion), "Sisyphus" showcases his passionate, lyrical approach, deeply rooted in bebop but not simply rehashing phrases. He came up in the era of bebop and has a thorough understanding of the language, so he can construct his own phrases, sentences, paragraphs and not simply plagiarize those originated by others. His tone is huge and extremely nuanced, with scoops, growls, and glissandos only serving to enhance his melodic phrasing. All in all, Phil is a serious, moving musician, a true master, and this is a great introduction to his musicianship. |
