Vocalist

GRAMMY-winning pianist Bill Charlap has established himself among the most respected keyboardists in jazz and leads one of the longest lived and telepathic piano trios working today, featuring bassist Peter Washington and drummer Kenny Washington. They will be joined by a pair of special guests: vocalist and 2017 NEA Jazz Master Dee Dee Bridgewater, and trumpet icon Nicholas Payton.

As a leading voice in American popular music, the Grammy Award-winning Nicholas Payton is a multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, composer, producer, arranger, essayist, and social activist who defies musical and artistic categories. All the while, he honors the tradition of what he terms “postmodern New Orleans music,” as well as the spirit of Black American Music, of which he states, “There are no fields, per se. There are lineages.”
