Event information

Step into the golden era of jazz as Jay Phelps, one of the most charismatic and celebrated trumpeters of his generation, curates an unforgettable night of music from Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue and his pivotal 1958 recordings.

Phelps, a Canadian-born trumpet virtuoso and a mainstay of the international jazz scene, has shared the stage with legends like Wynton Marsalis, Amy Winehouse and Shabaka Hutchings. With over 700,000 streams globally and a reputation for thrilling live performances, Phelps brings his warm, projecting trumpet tone and unmatched energy to this Boisdale debut. His deep reverence for Davis’ artistry shines through in every note, as he reinterprets the music with fresh nuance and creativity.

Expect to hear timeless compositions from Kind of Blue, including “So What”, “All Blues” and “Freddie Freeloader”, alongside pieces from Davis’ earlier 1958 sessions. These works defined modern jazz and continue to inspire musicians and listeners alike. To bring this vision to life, Phelps has assembled an exceptional lineup of the UK’s best jazz talent, ensuring an authentic and powerful performance worthy of Davis' legacy.

Beyond his prowess as a performer, Phelps is also an accomplished radio presenter (Jazz FM, Worldwide FM) and the creator of the YouTube documentary series Ear to the Ground. He founded SoulEndvr, a music casting and fixing agency whose work has been featured on platforms like Netflix, HBO, and the BBC. His five sold-out shows at the Jazz Café and appearances at leading venues around the UK highlight his ability to connect with audiences and bring jazz’s rich heritage to vibrant life.

This evening promises a sophisticated celebration of jazz, focusing on the artistry and innovation of Davis’ greatest era. Set in an elegant live music restaurant, this performance invites you to immerse yourself in the groundbreaking sounds that forever changed jazz. Come ready to be inspired, engaged and deeply moved.
