Phil Palombi, Bass

"Phil is one of the most sought after young bass players in the New York area" according to tenor saxophonist Walt Weiskopf. Since moving to New York City in 1997, bassist Phil Palombi is slowly but surely moving through the ranks of the New York Jazz elite. His resume now includes performances with Michael Brecker, Billy Hart, Dave Liebman, Etta Jones, Maynard Ferguson, Chris Potter, Rich Perry, Ted Rosenthal, John Riley, Toshiko Akiyoshi, Lew Tabackin, Chucho Valdes, Mark Turner, Eliot Zigmund, and The Village Vanguard Orchestra to name a few.

Phil Palombi recently published his first book entitled Scott LaFaro- 15 Solo Transcriptions, in which he transcribed all of Scott LaFaro's bass solos from the Bill Evans recordings Sunday at the Village Vanguard  and Waltz for Debby.
