Cyrus Chestnut: A Beautiful 'Spirit'

December 20, 2009

Cyrus Chestnut doesn't blow his own horn much. Besides, it's not his instrument. He has always come across as a shy and modest guy who does most of his talking with a keyboard.

by Larry Taylor
November 4, 2009

With her clear, rich voice, Ryan undoubtedly has one of jazz's great vocal instruments--no low-note ...
