PHIL WOODS/ GEORGE ROBERT QUINTET

At last he is coming to the Bimhuis: Phil Woods, one of the most dignified successors to the throne of Charlie Parker and torchbearer for the inventiveness and ardour that characterizes true bebop. When woods plays it seems as if he invented bebop yesterday, although he has developed into a personality with a unique, contemporary sound in the past 50 years. Swiss born George Robert presents a strong feedback with his lyrical and passionate changes.
