Featuring Phill Fest - Brazilian Smooth Jazz Guitar "Bossa Nova"

Phill started guitar at age 16. Having already studied clarinet and violin, the 'six string' came easy. Phill studied at Music Tech of Minneapolis in '89. "My training is a combination of school and self-taught techniques." Phill performed for five years with Deeforce, an all original eclectic rock-n-roll band that won best original band of Florida '93-'94 at the Florida Jammy Awards. During this period, the band also moonlighted as The Starliters as in 'Joey Dee and The Starliters', known for the hit singles Peppermint Twist and Shout. "I've played with the who's-who of oldies; Bo Didley, Spencer Davis, Coasters, Drifters, to name a few." Phill has recorded four compact discs with his father Manfredo Fest for Concord Jazz. Each of these recordings feature a composition by Phill: Offerenda (CCD-4539) July, '91; Comecar De Novo (CCD-4660) January, '95; Fascinating Rhythm (CCD-4711) January, '96; and Amazonas (CCD-4766) October, '96.
