New Music On WCLK: Nicholas Payton-Jazz Is A Four Letter Word

Close your eyes and imagine waking up on a cool Thursday morning as the warmth of the sun’s rays passes through your window. Well, Jazz Is a Four Letter Word by Grammy Award-winning artist, producer, and composer Nicholas Payton is just that: a warm feeling of light passing through your speakers.Accompanied by music powerhouses, Esperanza Spalding and Karriem Riggins, this combination of neo-soul and jazz with a pinch of funk sprinkled on top, will have you feeling like you are front row at a private after-hours jam session in a small club. Jazz is a Four Letter Word arrives from Payton's latest album on Smoke Sessions titled Triune released in August. I highly recommend that you not only listen to this track on repeat, but also check out the rest of this incredibly smooth album.
