Tony Woods

“The cool-voiced and clearly enunciating Robinson caresses lyrics…Woods supplies elegant saxophone colour and bite…a striking set.”

(Michael Tucker, Jazz Journal)

“A very enjoyable album that touches a number of stylistic bases and highlights the tremendous rapport between the co-leaders Tim Whitehead and Tony Woods.”

Another ‘talent deserving wider recognition’ Tony Woods played at Cambridge Modern Jazz Club in late April… Tony and Mike made the most telling solo contributions but this band was also close knit and Andy Hamill on bass and Chris Nickolls on drums were integral.(Jazz UK Magazine, Aug/Sep 2012)

“..saxophonist Tony Woods must surely tire of being described as “underrated”.  He is, shouldn’t be and offers ample evidence here why he is an unusual talent.  Best of all, however, is Nette Robinson who essays these often difficult lyrics with an agile charm.  Beautifully packaged with photographs from Garrick and artwork by artist Sisi Burn and singer Nette Robinson, this is a little gem.”

Duncan Heining (Jazzwise)
