SUMMARY:CYRUS CHESTNUT
DESCRIPTION:Chestnut’s playing\, deeply rooted in gospel and blues\, infuses each performance with profound emotional depth. As The New York Times notes\, his “crisp articulation and blues-inflected harmony evoke another era… multifaceted and dynamic\,” seamlessly blending tradition with fresh innovation to captivate audiences. Chestnut’s artistry has earned him widespread acclaim as one of the most distinctive and compelling jazz pianists of his generation. As The New York Daily News aptly describes him\, he is “the rightful heir to Bud Powell\, Art Tatum\, and Erroll Garner.” \nAt age nine Chestnut was enrolled in the prep program at the Peabody Institute in Baltimore. He later headed to Berklee College of Music in Boston\, where he received the Eubie Blake fellowship\, the Oscar Peterson scholarship\, and the Quincy Jones scholarship. \nAfter graduating from Berklee in 1985\, Chestnut went on to work with vocalist Jon Hendricks and trumpeter Terrence Blanchard before joining jazz legend Wynton Marsalis. He toured for two years as the pianist for the Betty Carter Trio and has often said that playing with Carter was a form of graduate school. \nBy 1994\, Chestnut had graduated from being an accompanist and band member by forming and leading his own trio\, then releasing his major label debut album Revelations. The album\, voted Best Jazz Album by the Village Voice\, soared on the charts. \nChestnut has worked with such leading artists as saxophonists Donald Harrison and Joe Lovano; trumpeters Roy Hargrove and Freddie Hubbard; pianist Chick Corea\, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra\, the Boston Pops\, and opera singer Kathleen Battle\, as well as vocalists Vanessa Williams\, Anita Baker\, Bette Midler and Isaac Hayes. \nToday he tours continually\, playing at jazz festivals\, clubs and concert halls around the world. He is a first call for the piano chair in such groups as the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra and the Dizzy Gillespie All-Star Big Band. The NY Daily News has hailed Cyrus Chestnut as the rightful heir to Bud Powell\, Art Tatum and Erroll Garner. \nCover: $35.00 ~ $50.00 +$7.00 fee | $15 food/beverage minimum per person not included in ticket price
