Nicholas Payton: Nick@Night
ByPayton, a twenty-something trumpeter, makes this his fourth release as leader, but he is a veteran of the Lincoln City Jazz Orchestra, has won a Grammy Award for his duo with Doc Cheatham, and has toured extensively with Elvin Jones. Payton will be considered as the generation of trumpeter born of the Wynton Marsalis revolution. But coming from a musical New Orleans family, his father is bassist Walter Payton and mother a classical pianist, Payton was walking towards this destiny, perhaps Wynton merely opened some doors.
The strong effort put forth by all involved both playing and composing makes this quintet candidate for best acoustic working outfit today.
