About the Event

Phillip Manuel & Roderick Harper


November 7, 2023

Join us for an evening with vocalists, Phillip Manuel and Roderick Harper!

Roderick Harper

‘Evolving’ is more than just the title of Roderick Harper’s exceptional new record; it’s his entire way of life. Recorded live with a cast of friends and mentors (including appearances from late piano legend Ellis Marsalis, sax icon Donald Harrison, and vocalist/drummer Jamison Ross), ‘Evolving’ is both a homecoming and blank slate for Harper, a return to form and a start from scratch. The songs here span the full breadth of his remarkable journey and extraordinary talents, but rather than linger in nostalgia, they press forward with newfound immediacy and resolve. Sure, there’s plenty of vocal sophistication and dazzling instrumental work on the album, but at its core, ‘Evolving’ is all about raw emotion and gut instinct, about taking chances and breaking free.

Phillip Manuel

The voice of jazz vocalist Phillip Manuel is described as smooth, soothing, sophisticated, and soulful. It is all that and more. The elegant style of Phillip Manuel fits in well with the venues where listeners tend to find him: classy hotels and clubs in his native New Orleans and around the world, as well as events such as the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival and the Satchmo Festival, gigging with jazz greats like Terence Blanchard and Bill Summers.
