Al W Phillips
Founder of Voices Of Jazz
Growing up, Al listened to big band, jazz and dixieland with his dad and had a dream to create a big band to provide local musicians a creative outlet to perform for the love of music. After a lot of hard work Voices of Jazz, a 22 piece big band, became a reality on January 7, 2007!
Al and his wife moved to North Carolina several years later and Al began putting together another big band in Charlotte. He is looking forward to continuing to do what he loves to do!
About Us
Voices of Jazz is made up of musicians from Pinellas, Pasco, and, Hillsborough Counties. We are an all volunteer community band. Our main goal each year is to provide scholarships to at least two high school seniors in the Tampa Bay area. The booking fees and tips received from our performances throughout the year go towards these scholarships and the band's operating costs.
Since 2007, dozens of Bay Area musicians have performed with Voices of Jazz ranging from ages 14 to 82! The band has performed for numerous events throughout the Tampa Bay area including concerts at the Dunedin Community Center, Largo Community Center, Seminole Park, Tarpon Springs 1st Friday, 3rd Friday Music Series in Safety Harbor, City of Treasure Island's Sanding Ovation, as well as private concerts and dinner dance parties for Mirror Lake Lyceum, Isle of Capri, Broadwater Civic Association, Royal Palms of Largo, iGov, and Aston Gardens.
Voices of Jazz specializes in playing music from the big band era of the 1930's and 40's. During that era bands were conducted by such legends as Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, Count Basie and kept the country dancing. In recent years big bands have become popular for social events once again. In addition to the big band classics, Voices of Jazz has incorporated more modern songs by popular artists including Chicago, Chuck Mangione, Blood Sweat & Tears, Stevie Wonder & Michael Buble. We hope to win over a new generation of fans who hear us play music that may be more recognizable. Please check out our playlist for our latest updates to our chart collection.
If you're looking for a professional band to attend your next event, whether it's a wedding, dance, concert, private party or corporate celebration, Voices of Jazz will make sure your event is a celebration not soon forgotten!
