November 20, 2004 Tonight I caught just the end of the second set, with Bill Charlap’s solos, including a romantic and rapturous Gershwin rendition, as well as more abstract pieces, fused with Phil Woods’ smooth and soothing sax. These were seasoned musicians, and Steve Gilmore joined on blended bass in a quiet, meandering mood. Foggy Day was existential, transcending Birdland with long piano riffs, punctuated by Bill Goodwin’s drums and Brian Lynch’s frenetic and powerful trumpet. Phil Woods performed one intense riff, following one of Charlap’s solos, and his fans were enthralled.
