“The playists of Charles Brian Phoenix represent a rooted, revolutionary and revelatory way of hearing music that simply is not heard on today's airwaves, sadly to our detriment. To paraphrase Duke Ellington, Mr. Phoenix's evocative and expansive playlists are "beyond category." He presents and extends the jazz aesthetic it into other reltated musical idioms, maintaining the Negriodal sound of surprise we call swing. It is art at its highest apex.”
