In anticipation for his eagerly awaited debut album Jay Walkin’, trumpeter Jay Phelps chose us as his footwear of choice, you can see him here pictured in J Shoes Charlie.
Phelps 28, originally from Canada moved to London in his teens to become part of the international jazz scene. Having performed and recorded with a veritable who's who in the industry, Phelps set about on his new project Jay Walkin’ to honour the integrity and capture what is the traditional spirit of jazz music, composing and arranging songs with this in his vision.
“His title track original ‘Jay Walkin’, has a Dizzy-ish feel followed by episodic flourishes combining trumpet and saxophone, making way for subtle mid-to-uptempo Phelps trumpet lines.” – Stephen Graham www.jazzwisemagazine.com
Jay Walkin', recorded on Proper's Specific Label, is released in 8 November 2010 with an album preview launch 21 October at Pizza Express Dean Street, Soho London.

Welcome to the BLUES CRUISE
A team of 4 local guys and gals from Mountsorrel and Syston (Lee Batchelor, Dave Youngs, Jo Kenney and Kate Gardner) who have decided to take part in this years Sucata Run to raise money for gemin-i.org - a worthy charity whose aims are to raise the awareness of HIV and AIDS through high-tech education in developing countries.
The Sucata Run is a non-competitive banger rally starting from Rouen in Northern France working down to Spain and then to Cabo Da Roca in Portugal. This may seem like a not too difficult task until you consider that the event rules stipulate the car must cost less than £250!
Their goal of £1000 is well underway at just over £700 with just over 5 weeks to go! The charity had set each team a target of raising £500 by the 1st of July, which we are pleased to report they have achieved, and this puts them in the top 5 teams so far!
If you would like to join us in our support for the BLUES CRUISE you can visit their Just Giving page www.justgiving.com/thebluescruise or if you’re in the area on the 29th July they are holding a Charity Auction evening at The White Horse pub in Quorn, Leicestershire or check out their website for further details at www.thebluescruise.co.uk
