“Payton’s clarion trumpet, as well as his genre-defying solos, stood at the center of the music making… Payton bent notes beyond recognition… No descriptive label or category could be affixed to Payton’s solos, which were as brashly original as they were technically imposing.” –Howard Reich, Chicago Tribune

An accomplished trumpeter, Nicholas also plays piano, bass, drums, tuba, trombone, clarinet and saxophone. 

Spanning a multitude of musical genres, Payton has composed and arranged, performed and recorded with his own groups in many settings, including solo, duo, trio, quartet, quintet, sextet, 21-piece big band, as well as his 2012 full orchestral work, The Black American Symphony.

Credited on over 120 recordings as a composer, arranger, special guest or sideman, Payton has collaborated with numerous renowned artists, including Trey Anastasio, Ray Brown, Ray Charles, Daniel Lanois, Dr. John, Stanley Jordan, Elvin Jones, Herbie Hancock, Roy Haynes and Joe Henderson.

Payton’s talent has earned him widespread praise and accolades, and insured his place in musical history.
