By Michael Brad Richman HALL OF FAMEVINE VOICE on August 14, 2003
Format: Audio CD
I've been focusing on classical so much lately that I wasn't even aware this CD was out until last week. Needless to say I picked up a copy as soon as I saw it. (I'm surprised my cassette copy of the original LP lasted this long.) Jimmy Woods' "Conflict" is one of the best, yet most neglected, jazz albums of the early 1960s. But it's easy to see why he isn't on many people's radar screens, because like a UFO sighting, Woods was only visible for a couple of blips and then seemingly vanished from the jazz scene. His first album as a leader, "Awakening," Joe Gordon's "Lookin' Good" (see my reviews of both), and "Conflict" basically comprise his discography. But don't think he was an inferior player because of his small output -- you don't get a lineup of Carmell Jones, Harold Land, Andrew Hill, George Tucker and Elvin Jones on your album if you're a minor leaguer. Yes, those are the big guns that play on these March 25 & 26, 1963 sessions. In many ways, Woods reminds me of Tina Brooks, although he plays alto and not tenor sax. All of his records feature an impressive cast of characters, incredible songwriting, and knockout solos that leave you scratching your head as to why they didn't become famous. It's a shame both men weren't able to make viable careers in a business they were born for. Hopefully, this CD reissue will allow more jazz fans to discover Jimmy Woods, but do it quickly because this title is a limited edition.

'Conflict,' by the `Jimmy Woods Sextet, featuring Elvin Jones,' is an obscure but outstanding session that harks back to March '63, near the end of the post-bop period - the last golden era for jazz.

The leader was unknown to me, although he keeps solid company: along with Coltrane's featured drummer there's Andrew Hill, Harold Land, Carmell Jones and George Tucker. Land got his big break with Clifford Brown and Max Roach, and gained some fame as a west-coast tenor player who led sessions now re-issued as CDs. Carmell Jones, who was often championed by Land, is a trumpeter with great technique seasoned with sharp dissonance and plenty of soul. He moved to Europe in 1965 and had some success joining traveling gigs, including with Oliver Nelson, although on record Jones probably peaked with Horace Silver, Land - and here. A 3-CD set on Mosaic of his 1961-to-'63 work may yet correct his never-quite-made-it status.

Woods' own liner notes remark on the choice of Elvin as drummer: he'd been on Woods' mind while composing. He also refers to Andrew Hill as "new" and speaks of great promise, yet he gets little prominence here. Only some soloing hints at the discordance and thick harmonies to come: in 'Pazmuerte' and 'Look to Your Heart,' for instance, Hill's brief turns reward pricking up one's ears. So if you get this (as I did) for an early taste of Hill's idiom, or even for signs of his studies under Paul Hindemith, you may dig deep but find only roots.

Still, there's heaps of consolation in this recording: as a group they swing hard and the brasses strike out with fiery solos. Woods shines brightly both as the composer of all the disc's numbers and as a gutsy altoist.

While listening over to this record I bought last week, many words come to mind: astonishing, powerful, amazing, excellent. Someone reviewed this cd here and talked about Tina Brook. I'd rather talk about other musicians. To me, Woods reminds me of Sonny Simmons (listen to his ESP recordings with John Hicks) and Ornette Coleman (Town Hall 1962). Unconventional music. This is hardbop/freebop as you hardly heard it before. After the excellent Awakening!! that was published a few months before, Conflict seems to be a bit superior. Woods says it in the liner notes when speaking about "going further". That's done! Thanks to an extraordinary line-up: Andrew Hill is at the piano, George Tucker on bass, Elvin Jones at the drums. The reeds consist of Carmell Jones on trumpet and Harold Land on tenor sax. There's such tension in this cd that the listener can't do without listening. The music seems angry at times, and Woods reveals his feelings with such honesty. This is just brillant. 5 stars for a true gem. Mark our words! You'll also find three alternate takes at the end of this recording (Conflict, Aim, Look to Your Heart). Recorded in Los Angeles, in May 1963.

First of all, let me explain that I began loving jazz since I was 16 . Now I am 78 and I have all the time I need to dedicate myself to this wonderful music . At the moment I own 2.573 pieces (LP's &Cd's), and this is my first review. I still remember that in 1960 I was studying German in Bayern and took the opportunity to go to Munich where Shelly Manne and other groups were playing.
Richie Kamuca was on tenor sax and Joe Gordon on trumpet. : I was very much impressed by these two players so that I tried, when I had some money, to buy records of this quintet . Listening to Joe Gordon's "Looking Good" recorded in 1961, I heard for the first time Jimmy Woods on alto sax . The way he played seemed to me so advanced and brillant that I decided to find other recordings of this obscure and underrated musician .He also appears with Joe Gordon in "Awakening" recorded in 1962, in Teddy Edwards' Octet "Back to Avalon" recorded in 1960 and also in Gerald Wilson's "Portraits ", also recorded in 1960.
There was only a recording left and I was lucky to find it at AMAZON. This was "Conflict". A remarkable Album with thw stellar line up of Carmell Jones on trumpet, the breath taking sound of the leader Jimmy Woods on alto, Harold Land on tenor , Andrew Hill on piano , George Tucker on bass and the great Elvin Jones on drums. I sicerely hope that this record will help many other fans to discover this "still-unknown" wonderful alto player.

P.S. Being aware of the fact that my english is not so good as "jazz cat Stef's from Genova", I think I've read nearly all his reviews, please do the necessary corrections .
Marcello Bellini.
