For the past 30 years Phil Mattson has stood out as one of the most influential conductors and music educators in vocal jazz and choral music. When I was 17 Phil became my first mentor. He has inspired and shaped me ever since. I now consider him to be part of my family.
In 2015, while on his Harley-Davidson at a stoplight in Minneapolis, Phil was struck from behind. Although he is now around 80 years old and in a wheel chair, he is STILL playing piano, arranging, and directing vocal jazz ensembles.
Phil you are an inspiration!
