Being "cool" means feeling good, happy, calm, relaxed, and carefree. Being cool isn't about things; it's a state of being. Being cool is about cool thoughts, which lead to cool words, which lead to cool composure in any situation. Being cool is being cool and acting cool, at all times, under any circumstances, and especially when you don't feel like being cool.
Being cool is being cool... stay cool... be cool... Forever Cool!!!
Phil and his friends Micheli on piano, Gonzalo Frómeta on drums, and Sebastian Mueses on bass; They will present a repertoire that emphasizes "cool," honoring the vocal tradition of jazz through songs such as "Just in Time," "Witchcraft," "I Get a Kick Out of You," "Girl from Ipanema," "Sway," "Can't Take My Eyes Off You," and "Unchained Melody," among others.
A Friday in which American jazz royalty will be present at the Sunset Jazz Fiesta, an event not to be missed!
