Leicester Jazz House & Jay Phelps Presents: Miles Davis’ Kinda Blue

The JAY PHELPS QUINTET performs a tribute to the music of Miles Davis. London based trumpeter and DJ JAY PHELPS has performed with some of the world’s top artists such as Wynton Marsalis, Shabaka Hutchings, Amy Winehouse and Wizkid. With an instantly recognisable warm and projecting trumpet tone, Phelps is a household name on the international Jazz scene with worldwide streams exceeding 500k and his DJ sets are becoming legendary.

Canadian born Phelps has had a career spanning over 20 years and his charismatic energy has lead him to radio presenting for Jazz FM and Worldwide FM, as well as creating the Youtube documentary series Ear to the Ground. Jay has also created SoulEndvr, his own music casting agency for TV, Film and advertising (featured on Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO and BBC).

His original music has always combined jazz with more contemporary developments such as soul and hip hop. But alongside playing his own compositions with the Jay runs another project that concentrates on playing the music of “Kind of Blue” era Miles Davis.

JAY PHELPS – Trumpet; DAN LOCKHEART - sax; ANDY BUNTING- piano; JIM BASHFORD - drums; JAMES OWSTON – bass
