have watched him grow and mature as a trumpet player. I look forward to many great things from Phil”
“Phil, your performance was outstanding as everyone will clearly hear in the attached video clip! There’s no mistaking a Lead Trumpet sound that sizzles! I thought you should know Joe Piscopo complimented me on how great the orchestra sounded! Your playing undoubtfully played a huge part in this performance! Thank you.”
“I’ve known Phil for about seven years now and had him playing lead with my Latin Orchestra on numerous occasions. Those of you that have played Salsa know that it is no walk in the park. Great sound & very talented. He fears no chart, great cooperative disposition and willing to learn the ethnic approach to my music. Extremely responsible and punctual. A hard worker, never complains and a beautiful human being”
