Jay Phelps’ 4/4
The Canada-born, London based dynamic trumpeter selects four of his favourite albums.
‘Round Midnight is presented by award-winning saxophonist Soweto Kinch. This weekday late-night show celebrates the thriving UK jazz scene and spotlights the best new music alongside incredible acts from past decades.
From Monday to Thursday this week, Soweto’s guest is the dynamic Canada born, London based trumpeter, DJ, and broadcaster Jay Phelps. Over the past two decades, Jay has made his name both nationally and internationally as a formidable trumpeter, working with artists including Wynton Marsalis, Amy Winehouse, Jazz Jamaica and Shabaka.
Jay is currently starring in MILES., a new theatrical piece exploring Miles Davis’ seminal 1959 album Kind of Blue and the legendary trumpeter. The show is at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe until Monday 25th August.
This week Jay is selecting some of the albums that have impacted him, for our series 4/4. Tonight he begins with a record by Miles that has influenced him.
Also in the programme, music from Anaiis, Chaos In The CBD, and Julia Gjertsen & Gustav Davidsson.
To listen on most smart speakers, just say: 'Ask ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Sounds to play Round Midnight.'
