A Supreme Blue: Jazz Meets House | R and B News

Grammy-winning trumpeter Nicholas Payton teams up with Virginia’s Butcher Brown for A Supreme Blue — a bold, groove-driven homage to Miles Davis’s Kind of Blue and John Coltrane’s A Love Supreme. Inspired by a spontaneous jam at a Butcher Brown show, the project blends modal jazz, spiritual energy, and house rhythms, with minimal studio planning letting the music evolve organically. Featuring core members Corey Fonville, DJ Harrison, Marcus Tenney, Morgan Burrs, and Andrew Randazzo, the album’s first single “Pursuance” showcases that raw, in-the-moment magic — even getting darker when the keyboards dropped out. Engineer Alex de Jong added dub-inspired textures that shaped the playing, while Ashley Kahn’s liner notes lend deep context. This isn’t just a tribute — it’s a fresh, forward-looking fusion that honors the giants while pushing the sound into new territory.
