Philip Dizack
Jazz Artist
Philip Dizack, born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, started
trying to play music at the age of 10. After two failed attempts
at the alto saxophone and trombone, Dizack knew the trumpet was
for him. Raised by his mother and father, neither of which were
musicians; Dizacks teachings were from recordings. Falling in
love with Miles Davis' 'Just Squeeze Me', Dizack was introduced
to the World of Jazz. Through the next few years, Dizack was
inspired by the playing of Miles Davis, Nicholas Payton, Lee
Morgan and Louis Armstrong.
By the time he hit high school, his
path in life was clear. Trumpet. Philip Dizack graduated from
the renowned Milwaukee High School of the Arts in 2003. Later
that year, under the direction of Justin DiCioccio he toured
as a member of the Stan Getz/Clifford Brown All Stars performing
in the United States, Canada, and Japan.
In August of 2003, Dizack
began attending the Manhattan School of Music in New York City,
pursuing a bachelors degree in jazz trumpet performance. Since
then, Dizack has been named third place winner of the International
Trumpet Guild Jazz Competition in 2004, first place winner of
the National Trumpet Competition in 2005, and most recently,
the winner of the highly prestigious 2005
Carmine Caruso International Solo Jazz Competition.
In August of 2005, Philip Dizack recorded
and released his debut recording, Beyond a Dream on the Barcelonan
based label, Fresh Sound Records. On the recording, Dizack includes
his young contemporaries along with the elder statesman yet young
lion Greg Tardy. After the release of Beyond a Dream, Dizack
temporarily joined Greg Tardy, playing in some of New York Citys
famed jazz clubs.
In December of 2005, Dizack took his band to
perform at the Barcelona Jazz Fest in Spain. Since then Dizack
has performed and recorded with the likes of David Liebman, Roy
Haynes, Jason Moran, Eddie Palmieri, Robert Glasper, Conrad Herwig,

"The Edwards trumpets aren't made for anyone,
they're made for everyone. I have never found a trumpet, let
alone a trumpet company, that gives the performer as many options
and choices as Edwards does. The combinations are endless,
and finding the right horn for me was in no way comparable
to anything I have ever experienced. Edwards trumpets are truely
vehicles for beautiful music. I am never lead or guided by
my instrument, but the level of quality is constantly inspiring
me to play things I never imagined possible."
