Phoenix ( music of Trane and Monk ) is the audio from a session from 2013, Originally recorded as a television broadcast as part of " Rogue Valley Musicians Spotlight." This session was one of the first public performance from Thomas Mackay in over 8 years due to health issues that did not allow him to physically play vibraphone any longer, hense the title of the recording " Phoenix" as this is literally rising up from the ashes of physical pain from decades. The music presented on this recording are composition from Trane and Monk who have been heavy influence on Mr. Mackay for decades. This recording is also a homage to the late Bobby Hutcherson. This influence can be heard how Mackay's phrases the melodies and arranges each composition. More significantly Mackay channels himself through these compositions as he Rises up from the Ashes regaining his place in the world of Jazz Vibraphonist.
