The debut CD from saxophonist Devin Phillips with New Orleans Straight Ahead was born in tragedy but ends with rebirth. One year after evacuating from New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina and relocating in Portland, Oregon, Devin has recorded WADE IN THE WATER.

With six originals, four New Orleans' tunes and two standards, the CD reflects not only his recent experiences and affinity for his musical heritage, but also the rich jazz scene he found in Portland.

DEVIN PHILLIPS: WADE IN THE WATER is more than a jazz CD; it’s also the story of a young jazz musician losing one home, but finding another in the Pacific Northwest.

"Phillips makes a bold statement as a saxophonist to be reckoned with...blending contemporary jazz traditions with those straight from the Crescent City."
    — George Fendel, Jazzscene Magazine
