Review: “Don’t confuse this with the Charlie Parker bebop tune Ornithology, because this one is more in the beguine style. Again, Woods requires a strong top end for the first player along with a good command of rapid scale patterns in B flat for everybody. The Woods compositions together would make a very attractive set for your next quartet programme.” – The Horn Call May 1995
