I've been told by CD critics & others: Miles Davis, Freddie Hubbard, Don Cherry, Lester Bowie, Kenny Wheeler, Tom Harrell, Woody Shaw, Tim Hagans...or...something of our poor brief childhood is in it, something of lost happiness that can never be found again, but also something of active daily life, of its small gaieties, unaccountable & yet springing up and not to be obliterated. And indeed this is all expressed not in full round tones, but softly, in whispers, confidentially, sometimes a little hoarsely...
Born in San Francisco, California trumpeter Phil Grenadier hails from a musical family. His father shared his passion for trumpet, his brother Larry turned to bass and his brother Steve developed a love for guitar. The Grenadier brothers grew up playing music together, starting in their home, school band and in various other bands before graduating to such renowned festivals as The Monterey Jazz Festival, The Russian River Jazz Festival, and The San Francisco Jazz Festival. At the age of 17 both Downbeat Magazine and The California Music Educators Association voted Phil "Best Jazz Soloist."
At 16 Phil entered his professional music career, performing in San Francisco as a sideman in the jazz, commercial and recording worlds alongside such famed artists as Ella Fitzgerald, Mel Torme, George Shearing, Tony Bennett, Carlos Santana, James Brown, Sammy Davis Jr., Dionne Warwick and Steve Smith's Vital Information.
In 1988 Phil moved to New York City to soak up inspiration from some of the greatest musicians in the world. Phil was invited to teach jazz trumpet at The Mannes College Of Music, and recorded as a sideman for Blue Note Records on 2 Bob Belden CD's, as well as recording for drummer Owen Howard's 2 CD's on Koch, featuring Chris Potter and Seamus Blake.
In 1995 Phil relocated to Boston where he currently resides playing, traveling, recording and teaching. He has released 2 CD's as a leader for Fresh Sound/New Talent; "Sweet Transients" featuring Ethan Iverson and Bill Stewart, as well as "Playful Intentions" featuring Kurt Rosenwinkel and Jeff Ballard.
Phil has appeared on 50 CD's, recording with such artists as Kenny Barron, Larry Goldings, Kevin Hays, Marc Copland, Bill Carrothers, Chris Potter, Jerry Bergonzi, Anthony Braxton, George Garzone, Mick Goodrick, Brad Shepik, Tronzo, Billy Kilson, John Hollenbeck, Gerald Cleaver, Bob Moses, Drew Gress, Larry Grenadier, Ira Coleman, etc.
In 2007 to 2009 Phil toured across Europe, South America and the United States with guitarist John Scofield, alongside bassist Steve Swallow and drummer Bill Stewart, which recently culminated in a sold out performance at NYC's Carnegie Hall.

Ciao, Phil Thank you for the add and the friendship. you are very good, I like your stupendous music a lot, compliments ..really. you are one of my prefeitis, I feel great admiration for you, I hope to listen soon to you, in italy .. all the best.. from italy..and good life.. every day neal
Sometimes when i look around, all i see is misery, despair, frustration and pain...
Then, i close my eyes, take a couple deep breaths, RELAX...And ask myself, "WHAT IF all I saw was what I WANTED TO SEE?" Then, I open my eyes. I see the sun, I see the blue sky, I see my girls smiling back at me, I see life...
And then, lo and behold, I see nothing but OPPORTUNITY...
Thanks for reading. And if you enjoy these little sayings I send out, take a look at my site, http://TankJones.com and take a look at my blogs. You can also see a lot of pics of events I've done, music I've made and learn about my foundation.
Thanks so much for the Add–and your friendship. We enjoyed your music very much. Thanks for sharing it with all of us. It's a pleasure having you among our friends! We've added two blogs about Umano, plus four more new compositions, making ten on our page. We hope you and your friends visit us and enjoy our music, too. We wake up every morning and play the music of the new MySpace friends who have arrived at our site during the night. It occurred to us that these friends (you are among them) are almost universally positive, whether they be novices or legends, and without regard to their station in life or the country they occupy. Although it's not an original thought, it also occurred to us that we couldn’t hold a verbal conversation with most of these friends, but we have bridged that gap by expressing our art honestly with each other. We all have been filling the world with our music and art, in the hope that our messages of love and human understanding will have an impact on the world at large. What a gift and what an opportunity we have received from this technology!
hi Phil wow it was great to play again and, I really enjoyed your amazing ideas and solos, what a fun gig, hope we play again, next time lets try to set something up when I go up to Boston take care bro
Had a thought while driving home and I wanted to share it. Hope you don’t mind…
When we truly let go of past hurts, hang-ups and disappointments and choose to live in the moment, in the now, in the PRESENT, life truly can be a GIFT.
Hope you liked this one. :)
Also, if you like these, shoot me comments letting me know, join me on my Facebook page and when I send you a link to my website once it gets finished next week, be sure to go it and sign up and I’ll send these to you there as well. Take care
