  • RE Person I Knew

    It's here!

    2011 marks the 50th anniversary of the untimely death of jazz great Scott LaFaro. Phil's tribute to this bass legend is now available! This 12 track recording features piano great (and former roommate of Scott's) Don Friedman and Bill Evans alumnus Eliot Zigmund on drums.

    For this recording, RE:Person I Knew - A Tribute To Scott LaFaro, Phil was granted the honor of recording the entire CD with Scott LaFaro's 1825 Abraham Prescott bass. Grab your copy here!

    I also have 96K-24bit FLAC files available for $17.98. Get both the CD and the 96K FLAC files for a special price of $25! Please CONTACT me if you are interested.

  • My Time with the LaFaro Prescott

    In addition to using Scott LaFaro's 1825 Prescott bass for my tribute recording, I was allowed to use the bass for a weekend performance at NYC's Kitano Jazz club!

    Of course, I just had to bring my audio and video gear to the gig to document the event- the first time the bass has been on a gig since Scott's last gig with Stan Getz in 1961. I've posted at least five videos of the weekend on YouTube. It features the working trio of myself, Don Friedman, and Eliot Zigmund

pirastro strings DPA microphones Analysis-Plus Cables Pirastro Strings
I've used Obligatos on all of the recordings I'm on up until 2007. Recently I've made the switch to their Evah Pirazzi set, and I've recently switched to their new "Ultra Sensitive" electric bass strings. I also use Olivs on the G, D, and A strings of my back up bass (which has never sounded better).

DPA Bass Mic
A great acoustic bass mic that goes with me everywhere.

Nordstrand Basses
I have a beautiful custom made SC6 6 string that has, among other things, a chambered alder body. I can't say enough about how well this bass is made and how great it sounds.

Analysis-Plus Cables
There are cables, then there is Analysis-Plus. You will not believe what a difference their cable will make.

Acoustic Image Ten2
This is the most versital amplifier I've ever owned. Two 10 inch speakers in a small cabinet with 800 watts! I can use it for anything. It's been a great match for my DPA mic.
