There he studied with Amir Ziv, Billy Hart, and Jamey Haddad, and entered into long- lasting musical friendships with some of the great young musicians in New York’s ever-evolving jazz scene.

It all has to swing. "If it doesn't swing, I'm not in it." Phil alternates between drumset and percussion as the gig demands.
