Jazz Weekend - Guest Artist - Nicholas Payton, trumpet, PLACHTAFriday, February 12, 2010

Since 1994 when Nicholas Payton made his recording debut as a leader with From This Moment, the trumpeter has been lauded as a significant, top-tier voice in jazz. Even though he started out as a "young lion of jazz," heralded as one of the new-generation guardians of the hard bop flame, Payton consistently committed himself to discovering his voice outside of the strict confines of that rearview mirror approach to the music.
While his jazz journey has taken him down many roads - from heritage artist to electric experimenter - the 34-year-old trumpeter arrives at a new plateau of jazz maturity with Into the Blue, his ninth album and his first for Nonesuch. It's at once a nod to the past and a leap into the future. "It's an amalgam of every recording I've done up until now," says Payton. |
