Philip Woo
If you’re a diehard mainstream fan, keyboard player Philip Woo is probably the most successful Seattle jazz musician you’ve never heard of. Woo came up with Kenny G in the prize-winning Franklin High School Jazz Lab Band in the early ‘70s and was playing in New York at 19 with vibist and pianist Roy Ayers, and has pursued an illustrious career as a first-call sideman in jazz-funk, soul, fusion, pop, and bands.
