NYC: PHIL WOODS AT THE BLUE NOTE

One of the true masters of the bop vocabulary, Phil Woods, will perform at THE BLUE NOTE (131 West 3rd Street, NYC - 212-475-8592) on Tuesday & Wednesday, October 15th & 16th with shows at 8:00 & 10:30 pm. He will be joined on stage by Brian Lynch, trumpet; Bill Charlap, piano; Bill Goodwin, drums and Steve Gilmore, bass. Woods has had his own sound since the mid-'50s and stuck to his musical guns throughout a remarkably productive career. There has never been a doubt that he is one of the top alto saxophonists alive, and he has lost neither his enthusiasm nor his creativity through the years. Woods contributed the famous alto solo to Billy Joel's hit recording of "Just the Way You Are" and has been one of Michel Legrand's favorite artists, guesting with Legrand on an occasional basis; he has made dozens of rewarding recordings himself through the years. He debuted as a leader in 1954 and has since recorded for Prestige, Savoy, RCA, Mode, Epic, Candid (the brilliant The Right of Swing in 1961), Impulse, MGM, Verve, Embryo, Testament, Muse, Omnisound, Enja, and Chesky, and has recorded with hisQuintet/Quartet for RCA, Gryphon, Adelphi, Clean Cuts, SeaBreeze (two sets adding Chris Swansen's inventive synthesizer to the band), Red, Antilles, Palo Alto, BlackHawk, Denon, and quite extensively for Concord. Some key sets include 1960's Rights of Swing on Candid, 1974's Musique Du Bois on 32 Jazz, 1981's Birds of a Feather from Antilles, and 2002's Americans Swinging in Paris from EMI. There is a $20-$35 cover.

NYC: TERRY REID & COSMIC AMERICAN DERELICTS

Terry Reid & Cosmic American Derelicts will perform at IRIDIUM JAZZ CLUB(1650 Broadway, NYC - 212-582-2121) on Wednesday, October 16th at 8:00 pm. Terry Reid is without doubt one of the greatest rock/soul voices this country has ever produced or is indeed likely to. A Terry Reid concert should be a cherished memory for any self-respecting fan of the greats of British music. Terry turned down the front man's job with Led Zeppelin, recommending his mate Robert Plant instead, a similar offer and rebuff to Deep Purple. He underwent two World Tours with The Rolling Stones, US tours with Cream, UK tours with Jethro Tull and Fleetwood Mac, The Isle of White Festival in 1969 and Glastonbury in 1970, played at Mick Jagger's wedding, before soured record deals resulted in Terry leaving Britain for America nearly 40 years ago. The full story includes numerous collaborations with Graham Nash, covers of Reid songs by Marianne Faithfull, The Hollies, The Raconteurs (the hugely popular 'Rich Kid Blues'), film soundtracks, including a song in George Clooney's recent film 'Up In The Air', and a catalogue of 6 studio albums, including the seminal album 'The River', re-released to critical acclaim in 2002 and the 1976 Nash produced 'Seed of Memory'. A Reid song 'Horses Through a Rainstorm' also features on CSN's box set. There is a $25 cover plus a $15 food/drink minimum.

NYC: DEEP BLUE ORGAN TRIO AT DIZZY'S

The Deep Blue Organ Trio will perform at DIZZY'S CLUB AT JAZZ AT LINCOLN CENTER (33 West 60th Street, NYC - 212-258-9595) on Tuesday & Wednesday, October 15th & 16th with shows at 7:30 & 9:30 pm. Deep Blue Organ Trio began over 20 years ago, when organist Chris Foreman, drummer Greg Rockingham, and guitarist Bobby Broom started performing around their hometown of Chicago. While all three musicians have had prominent solo careers, together they form a soulful jazz trio with influences of funk, R&B, and gospel. Through the classic jazz combo configuration of the Hammond B3 organ, guitar, and drums, as well as the Black-American experience through music, this celebratory trio brings a modern edge to a musical timepiece. If you're into the classic organ trio sound, look no further for the best. There is a $30 cover.
