This lively duo date with pianist
Franco D'Andrea is a very enjoyable all-
Monk affair.
Phil Woods was a part of several larger groups led by
Thelonious Monk, and his effortless swing makes it clear why he was chosen. Another choice track is "I Mean You," highlighted by
Woods' singing tone.
D'Andrea isn't nearly as well known, but he justifies his presence with a clever tapestry of chords around
Woods on "Well, You Needn't." Recommended. ~ Ken Dryden
