MUSIC . . . DOC CHEATHAM & NICHOLAS PAYTON: It?s the jazz equivalent of stunt casting: Verve has just released an album that teams Nicholas Payton, a 23-year-old Wynton Marsalis prot?g?, with Doc Cheatham, a slightly older trumpet player, one who cut his teeth with the likes of Ma Rainey and Cab Calloway.

...Bird was performed by Don Bellamy, who appeared in the 1993 Broadway musical Red Shoes.

Accompanying Bird were his fellow musicians: trumpet, tenor, piano, bass and drum. Particularly notable was Trumpet, danced by Matthew Rushing. His strength and sheer energy came through in the swift jumps, kicks and movements across the stage. Throughout the performance, the dancers showed an amazing ability to stay together even during a pause in the music when...

The latter, which will appear on Braden's upcoming release for RCA/Victor entitled The Voice of the Saxophone, was performed by an all-Harvard Jazz Band Alumni 13-person "Octet." Outstanding solos by tenor player Anton Schwartz '89 and trumpet player Bob Merrill '81, as well as uplifting playing by the rhythm section, fully expressed the buoyant yet nostalgic atmosphere which characterized this reunion weekend...
