Jimmy Woods (born October 29, 1934 in St. Louis, Missouri; died March 29, 2018 in Anchorage, Alaska[1]) was an American jazz alto saxophonist.
Woods played with the R&B band of Homer Carter in 1951, and served in the Air Force from 1952 to 1956. He played with Roy Milton after his discharge, and was with Horace Tapscott in 1960 and Joe Gordon in 1961. Following this he played with Gerald Wilson (1963) and Chico Hamilton (1964-1965).[2]
