New Orleans Straight Ahead: In the studio and at the Weiden+Kennedy Birthday Jam
His debut album with New Orleans Straight Ahead “Devin Phillips: Wade in the Water” is now out and available on cdbaby.com. Featuring six originals, four standards and two traditional numbers, the CD, also offers a cool video of the title cut. Notes Tim Duroche of the awarding-winning newspaper Willamette Week, the album “showcases his suave dynamics of musicality, showmanship and swagger – as noted in the tradition of jazz’s cradle as it is caged in frenzied, jazz modernity.”
Catch Devin and his bands around the Portland area and across the country… and check out his debut CD with NOSA, Wade In The Water, available at CDBaby, iTunes, and payplay.fm.
