Phil published a unique memoir in November 2023, Chasing the Masters: First Takes of a Modernist Drumming Artist (Corner Store Jazz), which includes not only his reflections on a life in and of music but also stands as an important document of nearly 40 years of music in New York City and beyond.
Phil delivers plenty of inside observations of his work with figures like

Lee Konitz
saxophone, alto1927 - 2020

Anthony Braxton
woodwindsb.1945

Dave Liebman
saxophoneb.1946

Paul Smoker
trumpet1941 - 2016
It's a charming book, and Phil has created a towering body of musical work. This conversation is classic Spotlight On, with an engaged, sincere guest.
