Little Red's Fantasy is an album led by trumpet player Woody Shaw.[1] It was recorded in 1976 and released on the Muse label.[2] [3] Little Red's Fantasy was reissued by Mosaic Records as part of in 2013.
Reviewing a reissue, the Detroit Free Press wrote: "Shaw applied the lessons of John Coltrane to a conception rooted in hard bop. The result was an angular, saxophone-like style and a complex harmonic language spiced by dissonance and unusually wide intervals—his serpentine improvisations weave in and out of chords like a taxi through New York traffic."[4] Scott Yanow of AllMusic stated that "the varied originals give the musicians strong foundations for their freewheeling and spontaneous solos, making this one of Woody Shaw's better recordings."[5]
