Appleton Estate celebrates Jamaica’s influence on British Jazz

Recognising the influential contribution that Jamaican music and culture has had on jazz in the UK prompted Jamaican rum brand Appleton Estate to collaborate with drummer, producer, bandleader, and label owner Moses Boyd to bring this collectible vinyl series together.

Moses has hand-picked some of the brightest lights from today’s modern British jazz scene, who take inspiration from their Jamaican heritage, to choose one of their own records and one from Jamaica that has inspired them. Artists include musician, producer and multi-instrumentalist ‘cktrl’; tuba player and bandleader Theon Cross; and London jazz singer Demae.

Inside this monthly collectible series, produced in partnership with Flying Vinyl, subscribers will receive an exclusive signed vinyl record from each artist, a 20cl bottle of Appleton Estate premium rum, a Jamaican-inspired pre-batched cocktail by The Drinks Drop – perfectly matched to the energy and joy of the music – and a copper cup to enjoy it in. In addition, a cocktail voucher for The Alchemist will be included each month to enjoy an Appleton Estate premium rum cocktail at the bar.
