The Jerry Jazz Musician web site features a quite thorough Bob Hecht interview with Ted Panken and Bill Charlap about Life in E Flat – The Autobiography of Phil Woods. They discuss Phil’s life, music and new autobiography.
Ultimately, I’m left with a very uplifting feeling having known him, and reading the book made me feel that special warmth.

I hope that this book will stick around for a while, and that generations of musicians who didn’t have personal exposure to Phil Woods will be able to check it out. I think it’s a nice portrait of the times as well as being a portrait of a remarkably individualistic man.
