Simon Phillips is one of the worlds most reknowned and respected
drummers today. Born in London, England, Simon's professional career
began at the early age of twelve, when he started performing and
recording with his fathers dixieland-style band until he turned
sixteen. He went on to work for Pete Townsend, Mick Jagger,
Stanley Clarke and many others and became a member of
Toto.
From the beginning Simon Phillips' musical career has been nothing
short of brilliant - and was not limited to playing drums.
To date he has recorded and toured with many bands and artists including:
In 1993 he moved from England to Los Angeles, where amongst worldwide engagements he also plays with "Los Lobotomys".
his second album as a solo artist was released on Lipstick Records in the fall of 1995 - and has since then developed into one of the most popular albums of our label. While often characterized as an instrumental rock album, it has also charted for several months on the german Jazz-Charts between November 1995 and June 1996.
The album is original in its style - but picks up where the
jazzrock of Mahavishnu Orchestra left off - building on the linear
melodic traditions and often odd meters combined with the pure energy
of rock - but integrating new influences as well as bringing a
saxophone into the explosive mix.
