Nicholas Payton­ - Since 1994 when Nicholas Payton made his recording debut as a leader with "From This Moment," the trumpeter, multi­instrumentalist, composer, and producer has been lauded as one of the leading voices in Black music. Even though he started out as a "young lion," one of the
new generation guardians of the swing and bebop flames, Payton has devoted himself to discovering sounds outside of strict traditional confines. Having grown up in a family and community of musicians in New Orleans, Payton has built his unique voice by melding a post­bop foundation, a heavy emphasis on groove, a soulful history, and various experimental elements. In addition to collaborating with an eclectic group of contemporary artists ­­ Trey Anastasio, Ray Charles, Daniel Lanois, Dr. John, Jill Scott, and Allen Toussaint, among them ­­ Payton is credited on over 120 recordings and had his music featured in film and television productions including Robert Altman's "Kansas City," HBO's "Treme," and "The Americans" on FX. After recording for Verve, Warner Brothers, and Nonesuch, Payton now records for his own imprint, Paytone Records. 

Davell Crawford  - An all­ around musical sensation is one of the true wonders of the contemporary Crescent City music scene. Bill Taylor from Blues Access proclaims, "Plain and simple, Davell Crawford is one of the most talented musicians alive!" Also known as the "Prince of New Orleans," Davell is one of the city's most exciting live performer. Cited as one of the few musicians committed to keeping the piano sounds of New Orleans alive, he stands as the only and most documented young piano player that has kept the music true
while adding a little freshness and vitality.
