Nicholas Payton releases "Dear Louis", a tribute to Louis Armstrong, on April 24, 2001 Dear Louis, trumpeter Nicholas Payton's much-anticipated fifth record for Verve, is a breakthrough album on which Payton channels the essence of Louis Armstrong's music with a wholly contemporary sensibility. Payton imparts an elegant reharmonization and ferocious swing to the stirring set opener "Potato-Head Blues." Consider the way he flows in and out of rhythmic signatures in his treatment of "Tight Like This," which in its original incarnation was a sort of novelty tune made transcendent by Armstrong's magisterial solo. Payton's elders have known about his ability to infuse classic jazz repertoire with idiomatic authority and life force since he was a teenage phenom in New Orleans. www.satchmo.com /nolavl/dearlouis.html   (826 words)

Nicholas Payton :Dear Louis Nicholas Payton has made quite a name for himself as one of the new breed of New Orleans jazz musicians who revere the historical signifigance of playing jazz in its birthplace even as they struggle with its status as a "historic" music that is suitable only for enshrining in documentaries and museums. Nicholas Payton has chosen to be less influential as a jazz historian and consultant, but his influence as a musician, recording artist, and teacher are every bit as impressive as Marsalis'. Payton opens with the famous Armstrong trumpet cadenza, then shifts into a funky shuffle that could easily have gone wrong, but is bolstered by a number of hot solo turns, including Vincent Gardner on trombone and Melvin Rhyne at the organ. www.jazzitude.com /dearlouis.htm   (1195 words)

Jelly review: Nicholas Payton Trumpeter Nicholas Payton opens his latest album with a song called "Zigaboogaloo," a tribute to the great funk drummer Zigaboo Modeliste which is just as funky as its title implies. Over the underlying piano, bass, and drum groove, Payton just lays back and blows, in the same manner the powerful Freddie Hubbard could do back in his heyday. Wynton Marsalis and Roy Hargrove join Payton for a musical sparring fest on a song called "The Three Trumpeters." It comes off sounding like "The Three Amigos" of jazz, only it’s more fun than that movie was, and it does without all of the cornball humor. www.jellyroll.com /07/nicholaspayton.html   (204 words)

NPR : Nicholas Payton, 'Sonic Trance' The Tavis Smiley Show, February 5, 2004 · Nicholas Payton has been nominated for yet another Grammy -- not surprising, given that the 30-year-old trumpet player has been winning rave reviews for his own take on "traditional" jazz for many years. But this time, Payton is nominated in the Best Contemporary Jazz Album category, for his CD Sonic Trance -- a challenging, multi-faceted work with plenty of electronic elements and a strong dose of hip-hop attitude. The Tavis Smiley Show producer Roy Hurst caught up with Payton to talk about what the musician would say to his jazz purists fans, shocked by Payton's detour into the "contemporary" category, and a more important question: "Are you now, or have you ever been, a member of the hip-hop nation?" www.npr.org /templates/story/story.php?storyId=1643404   (206 words)
