I was wondering if any of you guys know him. Ive been studying with Phil for about a year now and it's been great. If you dont know who he is you owe it to yourself to check him out. Hes an amazing guy and player. His website is www.hannaphil.com Seriously support this guy if you can spare cash for a cd Im sure you wont be disapointed.

thats the cd baby site and you can listen to some tunes.
Visitation, Lullaby of the Leaves, and It's A Wonderful World are instrumental tracks and I believe all the songs feature Phil. Its a great deal for any of his cds. If you email him you might be able to get some of the older cds hes done as a leader that are all instrumental. |

My friend Pete Shortell was friends with him and was always telling me to come down and hear him. He used to play with Mike Ledonne among others. Great player with great feel and chops. Got a really warm, full sound. |

I handed him a bass and he started playing through a whole bunch of Sott LaFaro's solo's off of the Vangaurd sessions..... I told him to get outta my house immediately!
Of course, i'm kidding...he sounded just great.

BUT have you listened to him? It certainley wouldnt be a waste of time. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2006 Location: Brooklyn, NY | | Clay, baby, I think you've missed the point. To the initial grievance, what does Phil's being white, black, brown, pink, etc., have to do with the way he plays?
Secondly, ask yourself, what's "bad"? Is Eddie Gomez "badder" than, say, Charlie Haden because he can play more notes? What about sound and time?
Not to get too heavy about the whole business, but the racial aspect is not cool.  |

Look, KOKO, I'm sure Clay's a nice cat. I (despite much written evidence to the contrary) am a nice cat, too. I (despite much written evidence to the contrary) also occasionally say Something Stupid. And when I do, as a member of a 28 year long relationship, you can believe I hear about it.

I have heard Phil, and he's a good player. I, unlike some of our bretheren here, have NEVER said anything stupid.
Except for that.  |  | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
