  Moment of Clarity

  Dan Phillips Trio 'Moment of Clarity' is the second release by the Dan Phillips Trio that features all original compositions. This release is the result of several years of working experience for Dan in Chicago with open-minded musicians . The Trio has developed an approach that allowed for improvisations that at times go in and out of forms and structures freely in the flow of the improvisation. This trio has a truly origianl sound with Krzysztof at times playing arco melodies like a cellist and Tim swinging hard and abstracting just when needed. Dan Phillips Bio Dan Phillips has been an international jazz guitarist, bandleader, educator and composer for more than fifteen years and during this time he has performed throughout North America, and Asia developing an original voice and approach to improvised music. The Dan Phillips Trio has been the primary vehicle for the expression of this voice and the Trio has taken on many forms in both New York and Chicago. The Chicago Trio is the one that has come into to it's own through two original recordings 'Journey in Mind' and 'Moment of Clarity' as well as through regular live performances. Dan began his pursuits as a student at Berklee College of Music in Boston. While at Berklee, Dan was selected as the guitarist to represent the College at the 1990 Montreal Jazz Festival. After graduating from Berklee in 1990 he moved to New York City and began his performing career. In New York he continued to lead his own groups as well as perform in a variety of settings as a free-lance guitarist. His ensembles included many of the new voices in improvised music such as Jim Black, Ben Street, Chris Speed, Owen Howard, John Arruccci, Pat Zimmerly and Mike Sarin. In 1996 he moved to Chicago and again began leading his own groups. These groups have included Tim Mulvenna, Chad Taylor, Krzysztof Pabian, Phil Gratteau and Tatsu Aoki among many others. He also returned to school and received a Masters in Jazz pedagogy from Northwestern Univesity. In 2001 Dan made a decision to broaden his experience by leaving the United States and absorbing himself in another culture and environment. He relocated to Bangkok, Thailand and began teaching fulltime and acting as Director of Jazz Studies at Mahidol University College of Music. While in Thailand he performed throughout the country became a well known free-lance guitarist. In 2004 Dan relocated yet again to Tokyo, Japan where he is a free-lance guitarist and band leader.

"The first impact Phillips makes is with his sense of swing and thick notes that fall from his guitar.......he opens the vista in a swell of notes that cut, roll and sweep ahead in a near torrent.....The textures weave and bob, taking flight on the wings of their imagination. Phillips....makes the experience interesting by taking a turn, breaking up a rhythm, and scattering the edifice. In the unknown lies welcome surprise." (review of Dan Phillips Trio "A Moment of Clarity" ?allaboutjazz.com 1/2005 "....thoughtful and swinging......creates a lot of intriguing colors and not afraid to go out harmonically...It is wonderful to hear music of this high caliber coming from such limited materials. Doing so much with so little is a rarity, and it requires the kind of musical intelligence of a Dan Phillips." (review of Dan Phillips Trio "A Moment of Clarity") ?Cadence Magazine 6/2004.

  70th Anniversary Concert

  70 Jahre Israel Philharmonic Orchestra - verglichen mit den traditionsreichen Orchestern Europas scheint dieses Jubiläum nur auf den ersten Blick weniger bedeutend. In einem verhältnismäßig jungen Land wie Israel jedoch, gegründet 1948, stellt ein solcher Geburtstag etwas Besonderes dar, ist doch das Orchester damit älter als der israelische Staat. Zubin Mehta, der seit den 60er Jahren das Ensemble geprägt hat wie kein anderer, leitete das Konzert am 26. Dezember 2006 in der heimischen Spielstätte des Orchesters, dem Mann-Auditorium in Tel Aviv. Seit 1981 ist der 1936 in Bombay geborene Maestro Chefdirigent des Orchesters, eine solch jahrzehntelange und intensive Beziehung stellt heutzutage eine Ausnahmeerscheinung im Musikbetrieb dar. Auch Daniel Barenboim und Pinchas Zukerman zählen zu den langjährigen Weggefährten des Orchesters. Sie gehören zu den Musikern, die am häufigsten Gast des IPO waren, und interpretieren bei dieser Aufzeichnung die beiden Konzerte von Bruch und Brahms auf Weltklasseniveau.
