Under a Woodstock Moon is an album by American saxophonist David Newman recorded in 1996 and released on Herbie Mann's Kokopelli label.[1] [2] [3] [4]
Reception
In his review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow states "Veteran David Newman is heard in fine form on his excellent CD, switching between tenor, alto and flute. He is joined by a supportive rhythm section and occasionally four strings for a cheerful set of ballads and originals. ... despite the mostly relaxed tempos, it is one of David Newman's stronger straight-ahead efforts and is easily recommended, particularly for Newman's appealing tenor playing".
