Cyrus Chestnut – ‘My Father’s Hands’
(HighNote HCD 7339. Album review by Peter Vacher) Now something of a veteran, the Berklee-educated pianist Cyrus Chestnut, who will be 60 this coming January, had racked up some 195 recording sessions by the time Tom Lord compiled version 17.0 of his discography. And there have been more recordings to add since then. In other words, he’s immensely experienced, perpetually busy and used to being in fast, post-bop company, and as it happens is a front-runner when it comes to making ‘name’ albums like this one.
