Lafayette Gilchrist: Three
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.

For starters, Gilchrist rocks ...

New Grooves: Lafayette Gilchrist at Bohemian Caverns
by Franz A. Matzner
The darkly lit, basement club Bohemian Caverns just might be the perfect venue for Baltimore raised pianist Lafayette Gilchrist. Both the club's owner and pianist draw on the past glories of Baltimore and Washington's jazz scene, and neither feels any compunction about presenting that history in a totally modernized context. For the club, this means Belgian ...
