Philip's debut CD, The beat of my heart blends the sensual heat of a classic Latin sound with the soaring eloquence of a great jazz standard. It features a gifted vocalist and some of the most prominent musicians on the contemporary Latin-Jazz scene including Raul Agraz (trumpets), Bobby Allende (percussion), Chembo Corniel (congas), Bobby Franceschini (sax), Brian Lynch and Ricardo Pons (bari sax & flute) Ruben Rodriguez (bass) and Spanish Harlem Orchestra’s Oscar Hernandez (piano/musical director). Also featured are Grammy-Award winning arrangers Ray Santos (Linda Ronstadt's Frenesi) and Marty Sheller (Mongo Santamaria's Amanecer). The reviews have been raves!

Jazz Review says: "The beat of my heart" is a gift from the heart from one of America`s great voices who is an unashamedly tender spirit. He shows technical mastery, vast musical talent and years of experience infused with pure love."

Latin American Rhythm Magazine says: "Without putting too fine a shout on it, BUY THIS CD. Anyone at ALL interested in the smoothness of Latin, or whole notes that ARE held, or Broadway - this is for YOU."

Jazz Nowchimes in with: "It would be difficult to find a fault in this carefully crafted CD. For the men this is one to buy for your lady, but don`t be surprised if you like it as well!"
