Live Concerts

Get in the holiday spirit with internationally renowned pianist Cyrus Chestnut's hard swinging, soulful sounds! Hear classics from his album A Charlie Brown Christmas, along with other tunes that make him "the best jazz pianist of his generation" (Time magazine).  A staple in the jazz community, Chestnut blends styles that are unabashedly rooted in Gospel and touches on blues-inflected harmonies and tones of Jelly Roll Morton's ragtime and early jazz.

From touring internationally and playing big bands like the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra and the Dizzy Gillespie All-Star Big Band, Chestnut says he likes “to construct melodies that tell stories, based on what I've seen, what I feel, and what I hear." Artists’ Web site Video More videos

“The pianist Cyrus Chestnut is one of jazz’s most convincing anachronisms.... What makes his music fly is a complete security in his style, and that sense of untroubled self-assurance.” — New York Times
