He was accompanied by fine jazz musicians: Anthony Wonsey (piano), Reuben Rogers (bass), Adonis Rose (drums) and Tim Warfield (tenor saxophone). The swinging The Three Trumpeteers features two giants as guests on jazz trumpet: Roy Hargrove and

The guest here is tenor saxophonist Joshua Redman. 'Groovy' jazz dominates on this CD, as does the jazz version of the pop classic People Make The World Go Round. From Wayne Shorter, Payton's favorite composer, Paraphernalia was included on this CD.more
