Lafayette Gilchrist: Soul Progressin'
by Chris May
Baltimore pianist Lafayette Gilchrist has a style which satisfyingly combines two very different aesthetics: the funky and the sophisticated.

by Franz A. Matzner
Grounded in Baltimore's blue collar defiance and port city ruggedness, pianist Lafayette Gilchrist's style is fully his own, deliberately iconoclastic and aggressively blunt. And his third outing--aptly titled Three--remains firm in its dedication to this rough hewn tone, even as it translates the big, horn driven sound of his first two recordings to the trio format. ...

Lafayette Gilchrist: Towards The Shining Path
by Chris M. Slawecki
Lafayette Gilchrist is not the next Thelonious Monk. No one could be. But for a cat making just his second album as a leader, this composer/pianist, who also serves in David Murray's quartet and nonet, does suggest some pretty incredible parallels with the unique genius of “the only-est Monk. For starters, Gilchrist rocks ...
