Information About

Flip Phillips




In the mid-'forties, Flip Phillips was one of the anchors of the Woody Herman band prior to going out on his own and prior to joining JATP. He also played with the Woodchoppers, a small spin-off group that Herman led. His deep, strong and articulate playing with a very full sound contrasted him to his successors such as Stan Getz in the subsequent Herman bands.
