GRAMMY Award-winning trumpeter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Nicholas Payton joins forces with Richmond, Virginia's genre-defying collective Butcher Brown for A Supreme Blue, a bold and deeply considered reimagining of two of the most celebrated albums in jazz history — Miles Davis's Kind of Blue and John Coltrane's A Love Supreme. Released on Concord Jazz, this ambitious collaboration brings together two generations of creative voices to revisit foundational works with fresh purpose and perspective.
Rather than offering a reverent recreation, Payton and Butcher Brown filter these iconic compositions through their own distinctive lens, blending jazz-funk grooves, modern textures, and a wide palette of instrumentation that includes trumpet, piano, Rhodes, guitar, synth bass, and more. The result is a record that honors its source material while staking out entirely new sonic territory — one that invites both longtime jazz devotees and newer listeners to hear these timeless themes in a thrillingly contemporary light.
