Phil Ware is one of Ireland’s leading jazz musicians, a renowned pianist and an inspirational teacher, whose playing credits include some of Ireland’s - and the world’s - greatest musicians including Louis Stewart, Peter Bernstein, Perico Sambeat, Bobbie Wellins and Ian Shaw.
In June 2020, Phil suffered a major stroke due to a ruptured aneurism which has left him severely disabled and facing a long and expensive period of rehabilitation. The Fund for Phil is an official fund-raising campaign, endorsed by Phil’s family and closest friends, set up to support his ongoing recovery and governed by an independent board of trustees.
On this edition I feature Jazz legends who tragically died young but who, in the short period of their creativity, left some amazing music behind. You can hear music by Clifford Brown, fats Navarro, Charlie Christian, Bunny Berigan, Lee Morgan, Jaco Pastorius and Charlie Parker. In the second hour I feature McCoy Tyner's Blue Note Classic "The Real McCoy" in its entire length.
