Alto saxophone masters Phil Woods and Gene Quill: "Phil Talks With Quill"

from CiTR -- The Jazz Show · host CiTR 101.9 Vancouver

Tonight we continue our exploration of short-lived Jazz groups. This one existed from the Spring to the Fall of 1957. It was formed by two of the most prominent alto saxophonists in Jazz. One went on to a long illustrious career and that was Phil Woods but sadly the other while very active in the 50s and 60s faded into obscurity and is kind of a forgotten man and that was Gene Quill. They became friends and played together a lot from 1954 on in various bands but by 1957 decided to form a group to work around New York and elsewhere. The called themselves "Phil & Quill". Tonight's Jazz feature is their final recording and their best. Both are on fire! They are backed by the fine piano of Bob Corwin, bass master Sonny Dallas and driving drummer Nick Stabulas. They work their way through some fine Jazz standards like "Doxy" and "A Night in Tunisia" and "Scrapple from The Apple". Tonight it's "Phil Talks with Quill". Don't miss this one!
