The Iron Men is an album led by trumpeter Woody Shaw which was recorded in 1977 but not released on the Muse label until 1980.[1] [2] The Iron Men was reissued by Mosaic Records as part of in 2013.
Scott Yanow of Allmusic stated, "This is a particularly interesting set by Woody Shaw (not yet reissued on CD) because it teams the trumpeter with the great saxophonist Anthony Braxton and such forward-thinking players as altoist Arthur Blythe, pianist Muhal Richard Abrams, bassist Cecil McBee and drummer Joe Chambers".[3]
All compositions by Woody Shaw, Muhal Richard Abrams and Cecil McBee except as indicated
