You don’t get to work with the likes of Wynton Marsalis, Kamaal Williams, Amy Winehouse and Wizkid without being seriously good at what you do - and the fact that Jay Phelps has collaborated with all of the above speaks volumes for his incredible talent.
The London-based Canadian trumpeter, who last year released seventh solo album The Now, visits the Midlands late this month with band-of-three Nicola Guida (keyboards), Josh Vadilevoo (bass) and Jim Bashford (drums). The in-demand trio are widely admired for their ability to generate an energy that manages to be both modern and groovy, while at the same time retaining a sensibility of the great Jazz tradition.
