A Kind of Blue and Miles Davis
wall2wall Jazz FestivalSaturday 28th September 2024: 8pm
Melville Centre, Abergavenny
Jay Phelps has curated an exceptional show which brings together the best of Miles Davis from 1958 and 1959. We can think of no better way to spend the wall2wall Jazz Festival’s Saturday evening.
London based trumpeter 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, Jay Phelps is a household name on the international Jazz scene, with worldwide streams exceeding 500k.
Prior to the release of Kind of Blue, the best-selling jazz album of all time, Miles Davis was busy in the studio, working with the same line-up of musicians: (Cannonball Adderley, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers and Jimmy Cobb). In 1958, the year before Kind of Blue, the album called ’58 Miles was released and set the stage for the
birth of world’s greatest jazz album of all time the following year. These albums defined the ground-breaking approach to the art of improvisation.
With three sold out shows at the Jazz Cafe already under their belt, the two sets presented by Jay Phelps features the music from ’58 Miles and Kind of Blue. To bring this to life, Jay has picked a line-up of the UK’s best!
