Cyrus Chestnut Trio

Description

Virtuosic and playful, jazz pianist Cyrus Chestnut’s hard-swinging, soulful music blends contemporary jazz, traditional jazz, and gospel, with a taste of Latin and samba. “His brand of crisp articulation and blues inflected harmony evokes another era. . . . multi-faceted and dynamic . . . Mr. Chestnut was the evening’s star and he brought charisma to the role”—New York Times. Sponsored by the Performing Arts Series. Residency activities are made possible by the Rothrock Family Fund for Experiential Learning in the Performing Arts.
