Phil has written for The Wire, DownBeat, Village Voice, and other fine publications. Phil has written three books. His fourth book is Ugly Beauty: Jazz in the 21st Century, which will be released Tuesday, February 1st.
In Ugly Beauty, Phil asks pressing questions. What does jazz mean two decades into the 21st century? Has streaming culture made music meaningless? Has the destruction of the apprenticeship model changed the music irrevocably? Phil has answers, of course, and he shares own experiences and conversations with present-day players.
Today’s show is a snapshot of jazz in the 21st century
Join us next week when our guest deejay will be singer/songwriter, jazz pianist, organist, vocalist, composer, and arranger Amina Claudine Myers.
