Closing in on 25 years since his Verve debut, the madly versatile trumpeter and multi-instrumentalist Nicholas Payton creates something remarkable in this age of limited musical attention spans and artists being encouraged to record shorter EPs – Relaxin’ With Nick, a lengthy double disc set of alternately soft-spoken/intimate and off the chain raucous live performances captured at Smoke Jazz & Supper Club in NYC.
