Phil Markowitz
Phil Markowitz, is forty year veteran of the International Jazz scene and is dedicated to realizing the full potential of improvisational music within the jazz idiom. He performs original compositions, which range from hard-cutting chromaticism to the most lyrical post-romantic ballads. Inventive, virtuostic, and accessible, Markowitz presents a forward-looking vision for contemporary music. His recordings as leader include “Perputity” on Dottime Records, “Catalysis” on Sunnyside Records, "Taxi Ride" (which features an incredible reunion with his lifelong friend, Toots Thielemans), "In the Woods", "Sno Peas", with Eddie Gomez and Al Foster and "Restless Dreams" (with vibraphonist Joe Locke)

by Peter Rubie

Not only are their abilities, instincts and improvisational élan laid bare, but their communication skills, at the deepest level, are impossible to disguise. The good news is that, were pianist ...
Chet Baker: Blue Room: The 1979 VARA Studio Sessions In Holland
by Mark Corroto
Let us bring sexy back to jazz. Not that it has been misplaced but, in a world where a teenager with a horn can flawlessly navigate Giant Steps," what seems to be the missing is the seductive element of jazz. We are undoubtedly reminded of the sensuous experience of the music which has always been reflected ...

Phil Markowitz: Solo Piano Live in Rome
by Alberto Bazzurro
Newyorchese, settant'anni compiuti da pochi mesi, Phil Markowitz si è fatto le ossa accanto a Chet Baker per poi legare il suo nome soprattutto a Dave Liebman. Il classico pianista accompagnatore? Sì e no, perché se è vero che, come molti colleghi di strumento, eccelle nel far risaltare le doti del solista che occupa il centro ...
