Tune in to this episode to get to know more about Phillip and how he finds the artistry balance between the two things he’s passionate about.Highlights01:21 It was a lot harder back in the day when I was working for different demo offices but now that I own my own practice, I kind of make my own schedule. 06:27 A lot of times, I collaborate with different producers and they come up with ideas and that inspires me to do certain things and take my music in different directions. 16:32 Sometimes we just go to the studio and play everything live, that’s what we did back in the day. Today, it would never happen, which is crazy.  32:36 The flavor is totally different than anything I’ve ever done. It was like really smooth jazz or whatever but it’s cool you know, it’s good for radio and all that but I want my classic sound to still be on the album. 44:56 You need to appreciate what you got now because this could be it. This could be the best it is and you sit there complaining. ContactFresh Coast Jazz FestivalConnect with Phillip Website
