Woody Shaw Lives!!!

[shawoody]

Greetings.

At last, we return after several weeks of intense review and a rigorous push towards greater efficiency within the infrastructure of The Official Woody Shaw Website. We are currently in the process of adding several new features - incorporating a new level of functionality by expanding much of the content and integrating a slick new database. 2006 is going to present a new chapter in the on-going resurgence of Woody Shaw's legacy. Beware, there are some major surprises on the way!!!

In the mean time, below are a few new releases that feature Woody Shaw during his early years. Many of you will be glad to know that these recordings are available once again... www.WoodyShaw.com

- Hank Mobley - Thinking of Home

I somehow was re-reading Todd's liner notes on the 1980 re-issue of this one. Very interesting what he says about the lack of mass popularity of jazz primarily being due to a lack of talented promoters (versus lack of appealing artists or potential fans, I assume). Of course, that was 1980 when straight ahead was getting slammed (Todd says Hank couldn't even afford a decent horn). But the statement probably has a high degree of truth today as well.

CDU (surprisingly) has the Nathan Davis for a pretty decent price:
