In this episode of The Walkup, Nick and his jazz collaborators open up about the legacy of the genre, the culture of jam sessions, the healing power of brotherhood, and the personal journeys that shaped their musical voices. From paying tribute to trumpet great Marcus Belgrave to decoding the unique language of jazz, this conversation riffs on heritage, improvisation, and how music forms community. Whether you’re a jazz head or a curious listener, this one swings.
