Phil Porter
Phil (*1944) began his music career in Boston at the age of 16 as a professional
pianist and organist. By the age of 20 he had recorded his first two jazz albums
and had performed at the Newport Jazz Festival. As a member of the band "Chase",
he earned a gold record, received a Grammy nomination, and performed on the Johnny
Carson Show and at Carnegie Hall. After many years of performing throughout the U.S.
and worldwide, he returned to the Boston area and continued his music career locally,
including as the organist for the Bruins and Celtics at the Boston Garden. He was a
member of Local 535 of the Boston Chapter of the American Federation of Musicians.
Phil died in 2015. |
