To whom it may concern; I have been playing with Harry Phillips for over four years in various ensembles ranging from brass quintet, marching, funk, reggae and calypso. Harry has great energy and focus. He has the ability to execute any piece of music with expression and musicality. His technical skills are at a professional level of excellence from genre to genre. Intonation, phrasing, articulation, dynamics and interpretation are the elements that make Harry stand out amongst his peers. What truly makes Harry a great musician is that he is constantly striving to improve and he is always on time for rehearsals and performances and comes prepared with ideas and cooperates with his fellow band mates.-Vincent NobileBimSkalaBim (Best Original Act-Boston Phoenix1992-95) Pilfers (Universal Records) Less Than Jake (Columbia Recording Artists) Mighty Mighty Bosstones (Island Records)
