"Woody 'n' You", originally "Woody'n You" (also spelled "Woody 'n You" and on Stan Getz album Jazz Giants '58 it is listed as Woodyn' You), pronounced "Wouldn'[t] you," and occasionally named "Algo bueno", is a 1943 jazz standard. It was written by Dizzy Gillespie as homage to Woody Herman. It was introduced on record by Coleman Hawkins initiated by Budd Johnson, Hawkins' musical director of his 12-man orchestra that included the bebop pioneers Oscar Pettiford, Max Roach and Gillespie.[1]
