Acclaimed Jazz Pianist Cyrus Chestnut

w/ Curtis Lundy and Montez Coleman

 

cyruschestnutAn adept jazz pianist, Cyrus Chestnut balances his lithe technical skill with a robust, soulful style that speaks to his deep gospel roots and love of swinging hard bop. A native of Baltimore, Maryland, Chestnut first studied piano with his father at the age of five, with official lessons beginning two years later. By the age of nine, he was enrolled in the prep program at the Peabody Institute. He graduated from Berklee with a degree in jazz composition and arranging. Chestnut took his time, working with a number of top-notch musicians (Jon HendricksBetty CarterTerence Blanchard, and Donald Harrison) before finally recording his first solo CD at the age of 30. His initial dates as a leader were recorded for the Japanese label Alfa (reissued on Evidence), and he became an Atlantic artist in 1994. A self-titled LP followed in 1998, with Tribute to Duke Ellington following a year later.

This is Chestnut’s debut performance at The Velvet Note, for which he will be joined by previous Betty Carter bandmate, bassist Curtis Lundy, and drummer Montez Coleman of McCoy Tyner’s band.
