Grammy Award-winning trumpeter Nicholas Payton has released over 20 recordings as a leader, pushing musical boundaries and showcasing a variety of contemporary and traditional styles. Calling his work “postmodern New Orleans music” or Black American Music, Nicholas Payton blends genres that reflect the rich lineages of the African American heritage.
“Payton’s trumpet aesthetic is imbued with the brash flavors of New Orleans and he has taken on board the more recent grooves of hip/hop and R&B”
— Jazzwise
