For those unaware, a top standards singer based in Southern California, Jack Wood’s new album For Every Man There’s A Woman (out March 24th, 2026 via Jazz Hang Records) features veteran vocalist singing a wide range of beloved songs. Joined by an all-star cast, Wood is heard throughout and at the peak of his powers.

For his 11th album, the singer is joined by several top-notch rhythm sections, strings on four songs and a few notable guests. The first three numbers, Harold Arlen’s For Every Man There’s A Woman, a medium tempo Our Day Will Come, and Falling in Love With Love have him inspired by pianist Lenore Raphael’s Trio and special guest guitarist Doug MacDonald.

Having created a compelling original voice as a guitarist and composer, Phil opens his latest recording on the opulent Harold Arlen cut For Every Man There’s A Woman, the finger-snapping jive of Cliff Richard’s Our Day Will Come and the upbeat and joyful swing of the Rodgers and Hart classic Falling in Love With Love (The Boys from Syracuse), then comes Henry Mancini’s luxuriant Two for the Road, and after all those we get gifted the classic bossa-nova Tristeza (which finds Wood singing in English and Portuguese), the musical gift of the late pianist George Gaffney playing (and arranging) Sting’s melodious Moonlight for Wood also, before a song associated with Ray Charles, the soulful Ruby.

Along next is the Latin-imbibed hipsway of I Won’t Send Roses (with trumpeter Austie Robinson), the succulent contemporary ballad Night Mood and the smoothly sculpted June Christy cut The More I See you (which also comes with its rarely-heard verse), and they are in turn backed seamlessly by a timeless version of the beautiful I Only Have Eyes for You, a decadent version of Michel Legrand’s One at a Time, Rodgers and Hart’s resplendent, Latin-tinged classic Lover (from Love Me Tonight), the set rounding out on the ornately embroidered Lonely Girl, coming to an all-too-soon close on the true grandeur of Stephen Sondheim’s classic Pretty Woman (from Sweeney Todd).
