Phil wants to start his own big band. He goes on tour and has a big band playing all his hit. Phil even plays with Tony Bennett on vocals and does a party for Nelson Mandela. After that he gets the call from Disney saying they want him to do the soundtrack for Tarzan. He makes all the songs and it’s beautiful. It’s so good that he wins best original song at the academy awards. You deserved that Phil.
