Notes from Woody Shaw III, Producer:
"THESE RECORDINGS capture Woody Shaw's imaginative spirit at the height of his musical powers. Throughout this CD, you really get to hear the breadth of Woody's versatility and innovative craftsmanship, not only as a trumpeter and an improviser, but as an adventurous composer and bandleader as well. It is well known among musicians and fans that Woody Shaw was a musician whose talents were best exhibited on a live stage. What you have here epitomizes these very sentiments, with Woody performing in an environment where he is fully and audibly in tune with his band, his surroundings, and, even more strikingly, with himself! The result is nothing less than inspirational.
To ITG members all over the world, may this recording serve as a major source of education and enrichment for all of you. Given the proud and dedicated trumpeter that my father was, I am certain he would be honored to have the attention and admiration of his most beloved peer group. Thank you, ITG!"
