After the Battle of the Bands session at Jimmy Maks, I had the pleasure and privilege to have dinner with Devin Phillips, Mike Horsfall, and Art Abrams. Devin was sitting next to Patti, showing pictures of his young son. Art leaned over to me, nodded toward Devin and simply said, "that kid is a monster!".
I have to agree (who in his right mind is going to dispute Mr. Art Abrams anyway?) - Devin is hugely talented and a musical asset to our city (New Orleans loss!).
Patti and I went to Wilf's Friday night to hear Devin and his band. Oh, yes, Mr. Abrams, the young man is a monster! His quintet was tight but not stuffy. The guys were having fun up there and the audience was enjoying every moment. And, lo and behold, a member of my club unexpectedly showed up with his spouse. Never know who will appear at a jazz club!
No photos this time; not really necessary. Hey, check him out at www.devinphillips.com
Later!
