>Walter Payton Jr., the genial bassist who anchored the Preservation Hall
>Jazz Band and shaped generations of public school students, died Thursday at
>Kindred Hospital-New Orleans following a lengthy illness. He was 68.
>
>Mr. Payton, the father of Grammy-winning trumpeter Nicholas Payton, was an
>exceptionally versatile musician and an exceptionally engaging personality.
>A student of music theory and music history, he could easily switch from
>electric bass to upright acoustic bass, from rhythm & blues to traditional
>jazz to modern jazz. He was also an accomplished classical musician who, for
>many years, kept a grand piano in his parlor. His recording credits include
>Aaron Neville's "Tell It Like It Is" and Lee Dorsey's "Working in a Coal
>Mine."
>
>He grew up on Annunciation Street. As a boy, he played sousaophone and
>dismissed his grandmother's suggestion that he take up the string bass.
>"Naw, I don't see nothing but old men playing those things," he said,
>recalling the scene in a 2008 interview. "I don't want to do that."
>
>But on Easter 1958, he attended a performance at the Municipal Auditorium by
>James Moody and Ellis Marsalis' New Orleans Jazz Quintet. "The bass players
>in both groups, they were having so much fun," he said. "More fun than
>anyone else in the band. There were literally dancing with their basses."
>
>He was sold on the instrument. Decades later, he described its appeal. The
>upright bass is "shaped just like a lady," he said, laughing. "The hips, the
>waist. And the best thing is, she don't do nothing you don't tell her to.
>She don't talk back. If you press her in the right place, she says just what
>you want her to say. And no more."
>
>Other than a brief time spent working in the cafeteria of Xavier University,
>he made a living in music. After graduating from Xavier with a degree in
>music education, he spent the next 25 years teaching in the New Orleans
>public school system. During his years at McDonogh 15 elementary in the
>French Quarter, he taught music and organized the school band; in the '70s,
>he conducted the young band at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.
>
>He influenced many aspiring musicians, including his future boss,
>Preservation Hall creative director Ben Jaffe. ?When I was his student ? and
>I still consider myself his student ? Walter was a bit scary,? Jaffe once
>recalled. ?But he had a lasting impact on me. He instilled in me a respect
>for music.?
>
>Throughout his teaching career, Mr. Payton also worked as a professional
>musician in a variety of settings. He marched with various brass bands,
>including the Eureka, Olympia. Treme and Apollo. He made his debut at
>Preservation Hall in 1965 and worked at the old Dew Drop Inn and the
>original Blue Room at the Fairmont Hotel.
>
>After retiring from the school system in 1991, he plunged headlong into the
>life of a fulltime musician. With his Snap Bean and Gumbo File combos and
>with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, he traveled the globe. ?I love being
>on the road,? Mr. Payton said in 2008. ?I love it, love it, love it.?
>
>Along the way he performed at Carnegie Hall, accompanied symphony orchestras
>and backed Robert Parker, Nancy Wilson, Harry Connick Jr., Clark Terry, Doc
>Paulin, the king of Thailand, and many more. He contributed to his son
>Nicholas' 2001 Louis Armstrong tribute "Dear Louis."
>
>Mr. Patyon was a robust man who at one point was an avid kick-boxer and
>martial arts practitioner. Married four times, he was quick with a sly smile
>and an even slyer line.
>
>?He always used to say to girls, ?When did you leave heaven? You?re so
>beautiful,?? recalled Michael Paz, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band's road
>manager.
>
>Mr. Payton suffered a stroke in January while in Washington D.C. on tour
>with Preservation Hall. He eventually returned to New Orleans, but never
>recovered sufficiently to return to the road. He had been in and out of
>hospitals for several months.
>
>?I saw him a couple days ago, and he spoke to me a little, which he hadn?t
>done the last few times I saw him,? Paz said.
>
>Funeral arrangements are pending.
