Here’s something to file in the completely different category. Prodigiously talented jazz trumpet player Nicholas Payton, who played on one of my favorite albums of last year, Allen Toussaint’s “The Bright Mississippi,” has given his new band possibly the worst name ever. What did he name it? SeXXtet. I guess he didn’t talk to the marketing department.
''Whether it's jazz or punk or anything else, you have to fight against the purists who want to narrow the definition. That's what kills music because it stifles it to death.''
—Joe Strummer
