The Clayton Brothers
This world-renowned quintet, is the brain-child of saxophonist Jeff Clayton. According to Jeff, some 30 years ago he and Grammy Award winning brother bassist/composer/arranger John, agreed to support each other's preferred formats. Jeff's love of small groups led to the formation of the Quintet. The band's latest album Brother to Brother was released in November 2008 and is currently nominated for a Grammy award. John Clayton, bass; Jeff Clayton, alto saxophone; Gerald Clayton, piano; Terell Stafford, trumpet; Obed Calvaire, drums. John and Jeff Clayton prove conclusively, that while blood may be thicker than water, it can also carry an unimpeded flow of pure creativity.
