Let's make this birthday one to remember.

72 years old (Born on September 06, 1952)

Happy Birthday, Phil! Another year improvising through life with style—just like those legendary sessions alongside Mel Lewis and Bill Evans. You've always known how to hit the right notes (and occasionally some delightfully unexpected ones), making every performance unforgettable.

From Grammy nominations to sharing stages with jazz giants, your career has been a masterclass in musical brilliance. May this birthday swing as smoothly as your finest solos—and may you continue inspiring us all by turning life's everyday moments into timeless melodies.

Here's wishing you another fantastic chorus around the sun filled with laughter, harmony, and endless applause!
