- "One of the true masters of the bop vocabulary, Phil Woods has had his own sound since the mid-'50s and stuck to his musical guns throughout a remarkably productive career. There has never been a doubt that he is one of the top alto saxophonists alive, and he has lost neither his enthusiasm nor his creativity through the years."
- 2009 Interview for JazzWax - "I was put on the planet to be a musician, primarily as an alto player." We get it Phil :)
