Named by DownBeat Magazine as one of twenty-five “Trumpet Players for the Future,” Philip Dizack is constantly pushing musical exploration and expression to new levels. In 2007, Dizack competed as the youngest semifinalist in the Thelonious Monk Jazz Competition. Two years prior, he became the youngest winner, ever, of the Carmine Caruso international Jazz Trumpet Competition in 2005. Around the same time, Philip released his debut recording as a leader, entitled, "Beyond a Dream" (Fresh Sound Records).
