| An excellent album of funky electric jazz -- and possibly the best one that Phil Woods cut with his European group! The quartet's a very hip group that's way hipper than its clunky name -- with Gordon Beck on electric piano and organ, Daniel Humair on percussion and drums, and Henri Texier on bass, flute, and African percussion -- all instrumentalists who dip heavily into the deep bag of their mighty talents for the date, helping to push Phil's music into some very cool new territory! The album cooks a lot harder than Woods' previous MGM date with the Rhythm Machine group in Europe -- and has a really freewheeling vibe, and a sound that's almost outside at points. All tracks are long, with a modal electric approach that's very nice -- and funky in the best parts -- and titles include "Chromatic Banana", "Ultimate Choice", "The Last Page", and "The Day When The World". |
