Phil Woods And His European Rhythm Machine - At The Montreux Jazz Festival flac album

After moving to France in 1968, Woods led the European Rhythm Machine, a group which tended toward avant-garde jazz. He returned to the United States in 1972 and, after an unsuccessful attempt to establish an electronic group, he formed a quintet which was still performing, with some changes of personnel, in 2004. One particular example is his clarinet solo on "Misirlou" on the album Into the Woods. Woods, along with Rick Chamberlain and Ed Joubert, founded the organization Celebration of the Arts (COTA) in 1978 late one night in the bar at the Deer Head Inn in Delaware Water Gap. The organization would eventually become the Delaware Water Gap Celebration of the Arts. 1970: Phil Woods and his European Rhythm Machine at the Frankfurt Jazz Festival (Embryo). 1970: Phil Woods and his European Rhythm Machine at the Montreux Jazz Festival (MGM).

Phil Woods' European Rhythm Machine, an adventurous unit that really challenged the altoist, was one of the most underrated groups of the 1968-70 period. This hard-to-find but exciting LP features Woods with pianist George Gruntz, bassist Henri Texier and drummer Daniel Humair on lengthy renditions of compositions by Gruntz, Carla Bley, Herbie Hancock ("Riot") and Leonard Feather (an emotional "I Remember Bird").

Recorded June 19, 1969 at the Montreux Jazz Festival, Switzerland.
