Jazz
A compilation of inspirational music from some of the world's great composers is the perfect follow-up to Cyrus Chestnut's immensely popular 1996 album, Blessed Quietness.
This compilation includes Duke Ellington's "Come Sunday," Paul Simon's "Bridge Over Troubled Water," Bill Withers' "Lean On Me," Horace Silver's "Peace," and brilliant interpretations of many classic hymns, including Dr. William Smith's "Lift Every Voice and Sing," also known as the Negro National Anthem and recognized as one of the most important musical offerings of the Civil Rights movement.
Treating this material with great delicacy and empathy, Chestnut's tempos breathe and his phrasing combines an almost surgical precision with affecting tenderness. There isn't a weak moment in the collection--precisely because there isn't a moment in which he loses connection with the inherent power of the music.
"Pianist Cyrus Chestnut can do it all. Equally adept playing with trios, groups, or alone, he tackles a broad range of styles with both taste and intelligence."
--- Amazon.com
"The pianist Cyrus Chestnut is one of jazz's most convincing anachronisms. His brand of crisp articulation and blues-inflected harmony evokes another era, sometime before the ascent of Bill Evans and McCoy Tyner, to say nothing of Herbie Hancock and Keith Jarrett. But unlike the typical nostalgist, who pines for the past partly because of a queasy discomfort with the present, Mr. Chestnut appears comfortable with his placement in time. What makes his music fly is a complete security in his style, and that sense of untroubled self-assurance."
--- New York Times

Cyrus Chestnut first studied piano with his father at the age of five, with official lessons beginning two years later. By the age of nine, he was enrolled in the prep program at the Peabody Institute. He graduated from Berklee with a degree in jazz composition and arranging. Chestnut took his time, working with a number of top-notch musicians (Jon Hendricks, Betty Carter, Terence Blanchard, and Donald Harrison) before finally recording his first solo CD at the age of 30. Chestnut enjoys mixing styles and resists being typecast in any one niche, though his gospel sound is apparent on a number of his recordings. His initial dates as a leader were recorded for the Japanese label Alfa (reissued on Evidence), and he became an Atlantic artist in 1994. A self-titled LP followed in 1998 with Tribute to Duke Ellington following a year later. In subsequent years, Chestnut remained busy, releasing Charlie Brown Christmas in 2000, the all-original Soul Food in 2001, You Are My Sunshine in 2003, Genuine Chestnut in 2006, and Cyrus Plays Elvis in 2007. The following year, he released Black Nile on Japan's M&I label. ~ Ken Dryden, All Music Guide |
