Editorial Reviews
Composer, performer and educator, Woody Witt is a saxophonist setting his tone as a leader in the jazz world today. His fresh ideas and original approach to improvisation and composition have earned him a place to perform with some of the top names in the industry.
Born in Omaha Nebraska, Woody discovered his love for music at the early age of 8. He manages a diverse music career centered in Houston, TX. To quote Grammy Award Winning trumpeter and composer, Randy Brecker, "Woody Witt continues the tradition of great 'Texas Tenors' with a big fat sound, fresh ideas and a decidedly modern and original approach to improvisation and composition. A perfect combination of building on the past and searching for the future." Woody's style can be recognized instantly - it is that weaving of the old with the new that catches the listener's ear. His sound is distinctive and sought after by many jazz artists: Tim Hagans, Louis Hayes, Adam Nussbaum, James Moody, Conrad Herwig, David Liebman and others.
Woody's first CD, released in 2002, launched him into the recording industry with a sense of newfound passion. With the international release of his second CD, "Square Peg, Round Hole," on Apria Records, the world jazz community should take notice. Woody teamed up with world renown jazz artists Randy Brecker (trumpet), David Kikoski (piano), Johannes Weidenmueller (bass) and Ari Hoenig (drums) to record eight of his original compositions.
Product Description
This is music for everyone and anyone and its message comes through clearly and consistently. Witness "Much More To Say", a tribute to the late pianist James Williams. It is a plaintive and eloquent statement told in warm colors. Witt's solo achieves a direct connection to the listener, giving one the impression of a recitation. Counterbalance this with the fiery tempos and soaring improvisations of "Childlike", "Under the Wire", "Out of the Box" and "Matching Game", the soulful bluesiness of the Randy Brecker's composition "Dirty Dogs", the placidity of "Before The Rain" and the introspection of "Song Without Words". This is the formula for a classic recording session.
