E.G. Phillips
In possession of a degree in Geography, he comes from a country called the Midwest and his favorites include Bob Dylan and The Kinks as well as Duke Ellington...and that crowd. When it comes to his stage presence, there's a touch of satirist Tom Lehrer in the mix. As for the inspiration for his lyrics, he readily admits an unusually outsized influence by long running British sci-fi show "Doctor Who."
E.G. is also the composer of the theme song for the webcast "In Lieu of Fun" which was started during the pandemic and has been a good way to spend and hour with stimulating conversation, trolley problems, and cheese.
"Ducks With Pants" is the name of his fake band.

JazzWax by Marc Myers
Flip Phillips, like Charlie Ventura, was cut from the same hyperactive cloth. Both tenor saxophonists crossed over to bop from the tail end of the swing era and both were born ready to jump and jam. While Ventura came up influenced by Coleman Hawkins's tough 'n' gruff approach to the instrument, Phillips was more of a Lester Young man. He could sail along like a paper plane, blowing yawning lines on up-tempo cookers and steamy ballads. In late 1946, Phillips ...

Anne Phillips: 'I Remember Birdland'

JazzWax by Marc Myers
In 1959, Anne Phillips recorded Born to Be Blue (Roulette)—one of the finest female vocal albums of the year. I posted about it here in 2011 along with my conversation with Anne. A few days ago, Anne and I exchanged emails and she shared with me new lyrics she wrote to the melody of Lullaby of Birdland—along with a 2007 demo recording of her singing her new lyrics backed by Marian McPartland on piano. The original song and lyrics were ...
