Oy! This is some depressing news. Great player, wonderful tones, essential Canterburian.
RIP

Starting with Matching Mole and moving through everything I have, loved his tone.
Same! His playing is at least partly what makes my favorite Matching Mole track my favorite. I think it's one of the great cuts to remember the one-of-a-kind musician that he was.

Oh.........Oh....... This one hits hard. I’m speechless. R.I.P. to one helluva legend. Your playing is my comfort zone, whenever life gets tough, anything from Delivery through In Cahoots tells me everything will work out fine. Goodbye, dear musical friend

Hi,
Sadly or not, we all go sometime ... in the future, and I have come to grips with a few folks that I miss terribly, like Daevid A., or Rich W., or Edgar F., but the whole Canterbury scene, for me, was too special and neat, and it is difficult to see "all your friends" go out, one at a time, before you and I do. Sometimes, I simply tell myself, I just do not want to see/hear of any more of my "friends" leave us behind ... but the truth is ... that the universe continues, and we're just a part of it, and this is one of the little parts ... that are always hard for us to accept, when given our tendency to be so sentimental, or so much in love, that we do not see the larger picture.
But yes, it is hard, in between ... to see our "friends" leave us. We will miss them and their contribution to our lives ...
RIP Phil. The best for the family and Canterbury ... do we have to raise a glass or pint? Just say it!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told! www.pedrosena.com

I always loved his tasty tone. he was proof that you don't have to solo
at ultra-high speed (he never was fastest hand in the West) to be
highly effective. R.I.P.
