2x-GRAMMY® Award-Winning & 5x-GRAMMY® Nominated Trumpeter NICHOLAS PAYTON teams up with the Acclaimed Collective BUTCHER BROWN for a bold tribute to legends Miles Davis and John Coltrane, with Special Guest Saxophonist & Vocalist KARL DENSON. This performance honors the timeless partnership and revolutionary spirit of Miles and Trane, while pushing the music boldly into the present. Payton has released over 20 recordings as a leader, pushing musical boundaries and showcasing a variety of contemporary and traditional styles, while Butcher Brown's expansive versatility as a genre-bending ensemble defies limitations. Payton, an advocate of Black American Music, states "the concern for me is to draw from the wellspring of all the great Black ancestors who inspired me to play this music in the first place. And to hopefully keep that energy, that spirit." Prepare for a remarkable night of powerful reinterpretations that celebrate Black American Music icons Miles Davis and John Coltrane.
