Phil Feather

Phil Feather is the kind of musician whose contribution is often heard as color before it is recognized by name. His work spans saxophones, flutes, oboes and clarinets across jazz and orchestral settings. In the David Angel Jazz Ensemble alone, he is credited on alto saxophone, soprano saxophone, piccolo, flute and alto flute. That versatility also appears on record: Feather performed alto saxophone, flute and oboe on Kim Richmond Concert Jazz Orchestra’s Grammy-nominated Refractions and is credited on saxophone on Geoff Stradling’s 2024 album Nimble Digits.
