Nicholas Payton Quintet
In celebration of the Basquiat gallery/BCAM
Thursday, September 25, 2008 | 8 pm

Jazz trumpet virtuoso Nicholas Payton celebrates the influence of   Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker on legendary painter Jean-Michel Basquiat. Payton’s technical virtuosity first turned heads when he burst onto the scene as a New Orleans teen, and he has continued to captivate audiences with recordings and tours with such artists as Doc Cheatham, Christian McBride, Joe Henderson, and Elvin Jones. His latest release, Into the Blue, “is full of inspired improvisations, original compositions, modern urban and Latin grooves that reveal an incisive creative intelligence.”— The Guardian, U.K.
