In this enlightening episode, world-renowned "legend of the synths and keys," Philip Woo, joins me to share his 50+ years of experience in the music business, alongside luminaries like Roy Ayers, Ashford & Simpson, Patti LaBelle, Frankie Beverly, Maze, and other outstanding artists. Philip's stories are brimming with inspirational highlights, from his childhood prodigy days to being a fixture in high school funk bands, including a band that featured teenage Kenny G. At 19, Philip was whisked away by Roy Ayers to the Manhattan funk, soul, and jazz music scene. Philip has resided in Tokyo since the late 1990s and has been writing, recording, and teaching virtuosos such as Harumo Imai ( Ep.#78 https://youtu.be/C8KHzOivldk ).
