Woods' quintet, which includes trumpeter Brian Lynch and pianist Bill Charlap, is expanded to 16 pieces for this release with such familiar associates as altoist Nelson Hill and trombonist Hal Crook (who is showcased on \"Willow Weep for Me\"). The altoist wrote most of the arrangements and contributed six of the nine compositions, including \"Reet's Neet,\" \"Goodbye Mr. Evans,\" and \"All Bird's Children.\" The music is boppish but not overly predictable, and the charts are consistently colorful, making this an easily recommended set for straight-ahead jazz fans. ~ Scott Yanow","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50155008655647,"sku":"013431477020","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/c0c1f21166ef20ccde5c73917339a708.jpg?v=1777967525","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/celebration-11","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
