Commanded by Nicholas Bella5/12/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Given all that, Relaxin' with Nick throws new color on the casual trio setting, and what else would you expect from a fleet, forward thinker like Payton?Īs he's also proven with his game defining recordings such as 2017's Afro-Caribbean Mixtape (Paytone Records), Dear Louis ( Verve/Universal, 2001) and Gumbo Nouveau (Verve/Polygram, 1995), Payton can invoke jazz's then and now on command and not sound moored or owing to either. ![]() In this setting Payton is a quartet unto himself, sailing with his trumpet while playing elegant piano/Fender Rhodes, electronics, and the occasional rap/vocal that we needn't discuss pro or con.
