TODAY IN NYC: NICHOLAS PAYTON SEXTET AT BIRDLAND THROUGH SATURDAY

TODAY IN NYC: NICHOLAS PAYTON SEXTET AT BIRDLAND

The Nicholas Payton Sextet will perform at BIRDLAND (315 West 44th Street, NYC - 212-581-3080 - ) Tuesday through Saturday, September 14th through 18th with shows at 8:30 & 11:00 pm. 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, 34 year-old Payton devoted himself to discovering his voice outside of the strict confines of that rearview mirror approach to the music. Having grown up in a family of musicians in the jazz Mecca of New Orleans, Payton has built his unique voice by melding a post-bop foundation, a heavy emphasis on groove, his soulful history, and various experimental elements. 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 his most recent release, 'Into the Blue,' his ninth album and his first for Nonesuch. There is a $30-$40 cover plus a $10 food/drink minimum.
