Woods is remembered primarily for two albums he released on Contemporary Records in the early 1960s. The second of these albums, Conflict, featured Elvin Jones, Harold Land, Carmell Jones, Andrew Hill, and George Tucker.

Little has been heard from him since the end of that decade. He had completely left the music by the late 1960s.
