Woody Plays Woody (2012) is a compilation of live performances by trumpeter-composer Woody Shaw taken from the Woody Shaw Live Vol. 1-4 series originally released by HighNote Records between 2000 and 2005. Four of the six tracks are dedicated to influences and fellow musicians and it is the first and only CD to ever include Woody Shaw's original compositions exclusively.
Woody Plays Woody was produced by Shaw's son and musical heir, Woody Shaw III, who details the background and history of the music in his extended liner notes.
Reception
Jeff Krow of Audiophile Audition said of the CD: "What stands out in listening to this CD approximately 35 years after these songs were recorded is the vibrancy of Shaw’s imagination, and his intensity in playing his horn."[1]
