Jessy J met Grammy Award-winning smooth jazz producer Paul Brown at the Newport Jazz Festival and he agreed to work on her debut album, Tequila Moon in 2008, as well as help her decide on the name Jessy J, the "J" stands for JAZZ.
Paul Brown is pushing the envelope where few contemporary jazz artists dare to go these days. A decade into his solo career – which began with the 2004 release of Up Front and includes his 2012 Woodward Avenue collection The Funky Joint - the two-time Grammy Award winner masterfully sets a high bar for his genre by digging deeper into soul and blues.
