Nicholas Payton

January 23 - Grammy Award Winning Trumpeter - Nicholas Payton

Nicholas Payton is the embodiment of every trumpet player who came before him, and he leads the way for all who follow. Hailed as a virtuoso before he was even out of high school, his maturation as a prodigious talent has earned him praise as one of the most important artists of our time. 

Nicholas has recorded 8 albums under his own name including the 1997 Grammy Award winning, Doc Cheathum and Nicholas Payton.  Nicholas has two newly released CDs, "Nick@Night" and "Bitches"  -  the later is a love story that musically chronicles the joys and heartbreak of relationships.

Join me as I chit chat with Nicholas about his music, and about  the "BAM" movement.
