Review
Ferociously gifted. –The New York Times
Mr. Payton s gifts as a trumpet soloist have never been
open to question, and now with this latest effort he
establishes himself as a composer-arranger-maestro on
par with any working today. –Wall Street Journal
Warm, spacious and balanced, Payton s balladry is hard
to beat. –Washington Post
