Payton will perform on trumpet, acoustic bass, piano, and Fender Rhodes; Aimée will sing and, at times, use a looping device to layer her vocals. Individually, Payton and Aimée are two of the most creative musicians on the scene today, but as a duo their collaboration synergistically expands the boundaries of improvisational music.
