Recorded at the Frankfurt Jazz Festival. Phil Woods was christianed "The New Bird" in his early years, because of the way he played his alto sax. Though he did not try to emulate Bird in the way he played, he did marry Bird's widow, Chan Parker, and for a while, at least, he played Bird's sax.

This album is described as Free Jazz, but I don't hear it that way. Just solid post-Bop Jazz.
