Woody Shaw's first album for a major label, Rosewood features the trumpeter with a sextet (either Joe Henderson or Carter Jefferson on tenor, pianist Onaje Allan Gumbs, bassist Clint Houston, and drummer Victor Lewis) on two numbers and with a "concert ensemble" (which reaches as many as 14 pieces) on the other four selections. Shaw is in top form throughout, particularly on "Rosewood," "Rahsaan's Run," and "Theme for Maxine." Rosewood was a consensus Jazz Album Of The Year in 1977. This modal music ranks with his best work. ---Scott Yanow, allmusic.com
Now I know what miles was saying about Mr.Shaw When he once made a comment saying "now that's a great trumpet player he plays different than anyone else that I have ever heard" I have been listening to some of Mr. Shaw's music for years but never owned any of his music. I am deeply sorry Woody Shaw that it took me so long.This CD Blew me away!! if your a Lee Morgan,Donald Byrd Fan, This man is wright next to them when you talk about a Trumpet Master You better get this CD if you don't you will be missing out on a true master. ---John L., amazon.com
