When he first came on the scene, Phil Woods was often referred to as 'The New Bird', in a nod to the legendary Charlie Parker - a testament to his genius on the saxophone to be sure. But while obviously indebted to Parker - as all modern jazz saxophonists of a certain era were - there is no question that Phil Woods was an original. A culmination of the influences the then 30 year artist had absorbed, 'Rights of Swing' is considered one of Woods' finest recordings, featuring a stellar section made up of Wood's fellow Quincy Jones band members.
