PHILLIP MANUEL: CHRISTMAS CONCERT
December 23, 2021 @ 10:00 pm

Influenced greatly by Ella Fitzgerald, Phillip Manuel is a gifted jazz vocalist with a poised, polished and gracefully lithe voice. Manuel’s rich baritone has been heard in many contexts over the last thirty years, from jingles and commercials to tours with Terence Blanchard and Bill Summers.
From New York to Los Angeles, from Portugal to Paris, Manuel has graced the world’s stages with some of the biggest stars in jazz. Encouraged by Aaron Neville to take the leap for his first live performance as a youth, his voice has been described as dramatic, warm and full of soul. Some say his voice charms and seduces, and his range sounds effortless. His most recent album, 2019’s “PM,” finds him at his soulful R&B best, performing 12 original compositions—a marked departure from his other jazz recordings. While his musical abilities are obvious, Phillip is also an accomplished actor, writer and sought-after voiceover talent, including roles in classic New Orleans films such as Cane River and The Big Uneasy.
Tonight, Phillip presents his special Christmas Concert and his Birthday Celebration, performing music from his endearing Christmas CD Collection.
