Jimmy Woods

Not a good deal is known approximately Jimmy Woods, an explorative altoist who recorded two impressive albums for Contemporary during 1961-1963 and largely dropped from the music picture. A separate improviser, Woods became a member of Homer Carter’s R&B music group in 1951. Over time in the Atmosphere Power (1952-1956), he proved helpful in some various other R&B groupings including Roy Milton’s. He used Horace Tapscott in 1960, documented with Joe Gordon the next season, and spent an interval using Gerald Wilson’s big music group and Chico Hamilton. Nevertheless, Jimmy Woods seldom made a full time income out of music and continues to be little noticed from because the mid-’60s.
