Eddie Lewis' Personal
Review of this CD:
Woody and I have been good friends for almost twenty years now.
It's been a joy to see his career blossom the way it has. This CD,
simply titled, "Woody Witt", is his debut as a leader. It
has a wonderful lineup of some of my favorite local (Houston)
players and thoughtful compositions by Woody and Joe both.

“Wonderful CD: great big sound with much depth, nice tunes,
swingin’, everyone is killin’, hope to hear more from you!”
— Randy Brecker
“This debut CD from Woody Witt is marked by a highly interactive
and tightly knit quartet, a great choice of material (mostly by
Woody Witt and Joe LoCascio). Throughout the CD, Woody shows a rare
control of the upper register and a warm, fat tone belying his
classical training and deep jazz roots. The quartet members all
shine individually: Joe LoCascio’s great tunes, probing solos and
incisive comping, David Craig's solid yet stimulating bass lines and
Tim Solook's melodic and always swinging drums. A wonderful CD which
grows with each hearing.”
