Recorded Live At Jimmy’s – Michel Legrand Featuring Phil Woods With Ron Carter, Grady Tate, George Davis (2) – LP – Pre Owned Vinyl (Arrives in 14days)

Recorded Live At Jimmy’s captures a fleeting yet electric moment in jazz history, with Michel Legrand stepping out from his storied career as a composer and arranger to lead a top-tier ensemble in the intimate setting of Jimmy Ryan’s. This 1975 performance finds Legrand’s trademark cinematic harmonies meeting the improvisational daring of Phil Woods, whose alto saxophone navigates every nuance with deep lyricism and wit. Ron Carter’s bass, Grady Tate’s drums, and George Davis’s guitar round out a rhythm section that’s both supple and commanding, elevating Legrand’s lush arrangements into something immediate and alive. What makes this album essential is the palpable chemistry—these are musicians who listen as intently as they play, weaving between French sophistication and the raw edge of New York jazz. For vinyl collectors, this is a chance to own a document that’s at once refined and soulful, a rare intersection of orchestral grandeur and club intimacy. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Legrand’s film scores or newly discovering Phil Woods’s expressive power, this album offers a timeless window into jazz’s collaborative spirit. A true keeper for those who seek artistry and warmth in equal measure.
