Industry Reviews
Included on Peter Watrous' list of the Top 10 Albums Of '94 - Gospel and blues and jazz mixed by this pianist in sheer unbridled joy...
New York Times (01/05/1995)
4 Stars - Very Good - ...[Chestnut possesses] verve, intelligence, and storytelling ability at the keyboard...he designs musical puzzles and then cleverly unravels them...a spare, economical approach that builds in harmonic density and rhythmic complexity....A bravura statement...
Down Beat (04/01/1994)
...pianist Cyrus Chestnut has more chops than even the most well-stocked butcher...yet what sticks most to the ears and heart...is the manner in which [Chestnut] infuses...themes and solos...with an alternately wry and joyful spirit....
JazzTimes (12/01/1993)
...displays an adventurous sense of time, and a scad of intriguing ways to address each measure of straight-ahead swing...
