About This Event

Join us for a live taping and listening-room concert for 10 Years of Monks | Nicholas Payton w the Monks Jazz Orchestra! We’re celebrating a decade of Monks all week long this September with friends, family, artists, and everyone who has helped make this place what it is. Come raise a glass, hear some great music, and celebrate 10 years of Monks with us.Nicholas Payton - guest artistMichael Sailors - music director Saxophones, Clarinets, Piccolo, FluteSeth CarperMatt Chavez Joel FrahmRipley SwingleEric Hargett Trombones, TubaAndre HaywardJacob MartinezJudah GuerraDemetrius ThorntonTrumpets, FlugelhornsMatt CollinsTito CarilloIsaac PittingerRachel SpencerJames Suter - bassRoss Margitza - rhodes, pianoDaniel Dufour - drumsNicholas Payton is a trumpeter, multi-instrumentalist, composer, producer, and cultural theorist from New Orleans, Louisiana. One of the most significant musical voices of his generation, Payton has released more than twenty albums as a leader and has performed and recorded with an extraordinary range of artists across genres and traditions. He is a Grammy Award winner and the originator of the #BAM (Black American Music) philosophy, through which he has spent over a decade challenging the mislabeling and misrepresentation of Black creative music. His work moves across swing, funk, blues, R&B, and electronic music with the conviction that these are all expressions of a single, continuous cultural language. Payton is a lifelong New Orleanian whose practice is inseparable from the city's musical inheritance and its ongoing role as the source of American sound.Presented by The Jazz Purveyor, with support from The Live Music Society 501(c)3 and Haas Toyota.Please Note: MONKS JAZZ IS NOW A FULL SERVICE BAR. As part of this transition, Monks Jazz is no longer a BYOB venue. We invite you to enjoy our thoughtfully curated beverage menu and roll with us through the changes!
