Flip Phillips: Rock With Flip
Source:
JazzWax by Marc Myers
Flip Phillips, like Charlie Ventura, was cut from the same hyperactive cloth. Both tenor saxophonists crossed over to bop from the tail end of the swing era and both were born ready to jump and jam. While Ventura came up influenced by Coleman Hawkins's tough 'n' gruff approach to the instrument, Phillips was more of a Lester Young man. He could sail along like a paper plane, blowing yawning lines on up-tempo cookers and steamy ballads. In late 1946, Phillips ...

Who Was Flip Nuñez?

JazzWax by Marc Myers
A couple of weeks ago, I posted about singer Bev Kelly and included a track of her singing Long Ago and Far Away live in San Francisco in 1960. After her first run through the song, Bev introduced her pianist prior to his solo: “Flip Nuñez." Most readers may be unfamiliar with the pianist-singer and composer (1931-1995), largely because he spent much of his career in San Francisco. For a chunk of the early 1960s, he was often at San ...

Google Unveils Fast Flip for Newspapers and Magazines

Google, which has been likened to “parasites" and “tapeworms" by editors who resent the company's efforts to aggregate news on the Web, this afternoon offered an olive branch to publishers of newspapers and magazines.
Unveiled by Marissa Mayer at a TechCrunch 50 event in San Francisco, Fast Flip is actually more of a carrot than an olive branch, because it offers publishers a potential additional revenue stream.
Here's how it works.

Flip Phillips: Hard Swinging Tenor Star of JATP
Source:
All About Jazz
Flip Phillips was most closely associated with Norman Granz's famous Jazz at The Philharmonic touring productions. The hard hitting tenor saxophonist was a star of these jam session-style revues for almost a dozen years, matching his fierce, honking tenor in cutting sessions with other demonstrative saxophonists of the day, including Illinois Jacquet, Charlie Ventura and Ike Quebec. Although the critics sometimes disdained the showy, crowd-pleasing approach which Granz fostered in these shows, they remained immensely popular ...

All About Jazz
Flip Phillips died at the age of 86 on Friday, August 17th at Holy Cross Hospital in Ft. Lauderdale, FL.
The veteran tenor saxophonist made a bold impact on jazz history-especially during stints with Woody Herman and as part of the landmark Jazz at the Philharmonic concerts from the 1940s and 1950s, playing alongside his peers, such as Charlie Parker and Lester Young. But it wasn't until the year 2000 that Flip released his first-ever major label recording as a ...
