Cyrus Chestnut: Genuine Chestnut
by AAJ Italy Staff
Genuine Chestnut non rende giustizia alla ragguardevole cifra artistica di Cyrus Chestnut, pianista e compositore di talento. Alcuni suoi dischi per la Evidence e l’Atlantic ne avevano messo in luce l’intrigante progettualità musicale, volta ad integrare l’idioma delle origini del jazz all’interno di un fraseggio d’ascendenza post-bop. Su questo disco tale peculiarità fortemente distintiva del pianista ...
Cyrus Chestnut: Genuine Chestnut

Beyond that, the subject doesn't interest her. “I don't spend a lot of time haggling with the word “jazz,?" she explains. “I let the “Jazz Police" handle that. I ...
Cyrus Chestnut & Friends: A Charlie Brown Christmas
by Derek John
Good grief! That time of year is, indeed, here once again, and with it a fresh batch of seasonal CD releases. Although nothing new, a few years back it suddenly became especially vogue for many artists to cut an album of holiday favorites. The result, more often than not, has been a senseless butchering of once-classic ...
Wynton Marsalis Septet: The Marciac Suite
by C. Michael Bailey
Finally...The End. Like a lemming, I dutifully purchased each volume of Wynton Marsalis’ “Swinging Into The 21st Century”, collecting the little stickers and sticking them on the collection card, and finally, mailing that card in.
