NEW ORLEANS (press release) – Influenced greatly by Ella Fitzgerald, Phillip Manuel is a gifted jazz vocalist with a poised, polished and gracefully lithe voice.
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.
On Dec. 17, Phillip presents his special Christmas Concert and his Birthday Celebration, performing music from his endearing Christmas CD Collection.
