“John Clayton is one of the most technically imposing bassists in jazz… Jeff maintains a sweet, preaching delivery; the Adderley influence runs deep in him.” – The New York Times

Clayton Brothers, THE GATHERING

“John and Jeff Clayton are two of the most soulful, swinging siblings on the planet.” – NPR “JazzSet with Dee Dee Bridgewater”

Stream Tracks From The Gathering

A new Clayton Brothers release is always a family affair – not only due to the actual blood ties of siblings John and Jeff Clayton and son/nephew Gerald, but in the sense that quintet-mates Terell Stafford and Obed Calvaire have become part of the Claytons’ extended musical family through years of touring and recording.

Negroni’s Trio, ON THE WAY

The latest release, On The Way, from Negroni’s Trio, the distinctive unit featuring the father/son team of multitalented Puerto Rican pianist/composer Jose Negroni and his son, the powerful gifted young drummer Nomar Negroni, celebrates the tenth anniversary of the Miami based ensemble that continues to garner international acclaim in jazz and world music circles. Jose Negroni, a disciple of legendary Sonora Poncena pianist Papo Luca and an esteemed educator, renowned for his work at native island’s Conservatory of Music, established the band in 2002 as a vehicle for his unique artistic vision, combining elements of jazz, AfroCaribbean and European classical musics. Utilizing the potent polyrhythmic sensibilities of Berklee educated Nomar Negroni, nominated in 2008 as Best Drummer of the Year by The Latin Jazz Corner, the group realizes a visionary music that is greater than the sum of its individual parts.
