This date features
Phil Woods with a large orchestra.
Woods' playing is inspired, though some of the songs, including the title track, "Love Song for a Dead Che" and "I'm All Smiles" sound rather dated, as if they might have been appropriate for a movie soundtrack of the era.
Woods' "Solitude" and
Gordon Jenkins' timeless "This Is All I Ask" are attractive ballads, as is "Here's That Rainy Day."
Woods' fans will want to pick this up. ~ Ken Dryden
