Kenny Garrett and Nicholas Payton

Grammy Award winner Nicholas Payton is one of the world’s leading trumpeters, one who has lent his musical power to everything from Louis Armstrong classics to rhythm-and-blues to rap, rock and hip-hop — as well as his own intoxicating, hedonistically energetic compositions. Scintillating saxophonist Kenny Garrett is a multiple Grammy nominee who has stretched his talents by collaborating with symphony orchestras, hip-hop artists, and rock stars. As both player and composer, he has become known for his rippling, melodic style. Don’t miss this evening of galvanizing jazz — music sure to be as eloquent as it is muscular.
