Jay Phelps Band: Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue
£22.00 (£20 concessions | £7.00 under 35)

Supported by York Music Forum Jazz Ensemble 7.20pm – 7.40pm

The NCEM is delighted to collaborate with young jazz musicians across the city and to strengthen our partnership with York Music Forum. We extend our thanks to the Ronnie Scott Charitable Foundation for their support and commitment to jazz and music education.

Jay Phelps has curated an exceptional show which brings together the best of Miles Davis from 1958 and 1959.

Prior to the release of Kind of Blue, the best-selling jazz album of all time, Miles 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 four 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!

“What Jay brings to the stage is an energy and a level of originality that is hard to find. Whether it’s a live show or one of his hybrid DJ sets, I know Jay will always deliver tenfold and leave the room in a better place than he found it. And that is priceless.” Juliet Kennedy, Founder & Director, Brick Lane Jazz Festival
