from CiTR -- The Jazz Show · host CiTR & Discorder Magazine

When alto saxophonist Phil Woods relocated to Europe in 1968 it was not that his career was moribund but it was because of the negative political atmosphere in the U.S......assassinations, racism, the ongoing Vietnam War etc. Woods relocated in Paris and formed one of his greatest bands, The European Rhythm Machine. Tonight we hear them in concert at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1969. Woods on alto saxophone is re-ignited by this band. George Gruntz on piano and Daniel Humair on drums are Swiss and bassist Henri Texier is French and the band is on fire!
