Cyrus Chestnut Champions the Music of a Charlie Brown Christmas
There are lots of reasons why “A Charlie Brown Christmas" has become an enduring classic since its TV debut in 1965: its gentle wit and wisdom, its slyly subversive message about consumerism and the true meaning of Christmas. But don't discount the buoyant jazz score, written by pianist Vince Guaraldi (1928-76) and now instantly recognizable to ...
Cyrus Chestnut: Cyrus Plays Elvis
by J Hunter
"Elvis isn't dead until we say he's dead! That was the defiant proclamation on a billboard advertising a Bay Area Oldies station. An immediate reaction would be: “Which Elvis are we talking about? Fat Elvis? Thin Elvis? Hollywood Elvis? Vegas Elvis? With Cyrus Plays Elvis, pianist Cyrus Chestnut has added a new category to that list: ...

Cyrus Chestnut: Cyrus plays Elvis
by Francis Lo Kee
Certainly a concept designed to push peoples' buttons, the fact is that if you don't know Elvis Presley's music, this CD doesn't sound radically different from a lot of soul jazz recordings from Blue Note in the 1960s. One of the big differences between rock and jazz is harmony: while jazz, partially built on the standards ...

Cyrus Chestnut: Genuine Chestnut
by Woodrow Wilkins
One hardly thinks of age six as the start of a career in anything, but that's when pianist Cyrus Chestnut began his. As was the case with many musicians and singers, the church was his first gig. He played at Mount Calvary Baptist in Baltimore, and within three years, he was studying classical music at the ...
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
by Joel Roberts

Since gaining notoriety with the young lions of the '80s, his gospel-rooted approach has earned him a reputation as one of the most reliably versatile pianists on the mainstream scene.
