Born in Vancouver, Canada 1982, Jay took up the trumpet at 11
years of age. At 15 he became the youngest artist to lead his own band
at the Vancouver International Jazz Festival. Keen to develop his career
further, Jay moved to London at the age of 17 where he immediately
attracted the attention of Gary Crosby who engaged him as a dep for Jazz
Jamaica All Stars and Nu Troop. In 2002 Gary offered him a place in the
core band of Tomorrow's Warriors. Formerly co-frontman of the much
admired band Empirical, Jay has been a featured member of Dennis Rollins’
Badbone & Co and has performed with Andrew Hill, Wynton
Marsalis, Ray Brown, George Benson and Hugh Masakela.
