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.
