Phil Woods: "It was a logical delight for the Phil Woods Quintet, an old established firm since 1974, to record for the new
Deer Head Records label. It is a new label, but also an established firm, the oldest continuously operating jazz club in the
country.
I am reminded of a comment by my old boss, Dizzy Gillespie. When asked "How you doing, Birks?" he responded, "Well,
I'm not getting worse!" And I can honestly say both old established firms are not any worse for wear! We hope the fans of both will agree."
Richard Burton: "This gig turned out to be the last recording of the Phil Woods Quintet. Thank you to Bill Goodwin, Steve
Gilmore, Brian Lynch and Bill Mays making that Monday night in November one to remember. Phil played with such grace,
wit and soul. There can never be enough great Phil Woods Quintet recordings."
