Cyrus Chestnut/Eric Reed- Plenty Swing, Plenty Soul (CD)
When you think of hard-driving swing, daring expression, sophistication and elegance in artistry, formidable technique and a thunderous sound, there are only a very small handful of contemporary pianists you think of and two of them are on this recording! Eric Reed and Cyrus Chestnut have played with a virtual Who's Who of jazz including Wynton Marsalis, Freddie Hubbard and others. Captured live in the rarely-encountered two-piano format, they offer enough jazz adorned with uninhibited improvisations, flashes of pop & bop, whimsy and wit to please the most discriminating of jazz aficionados.
Tracklist:
- I'll Remember April
- All the Things You Are
- Two Bass Hit
- Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing
- It Don't Mean a Thing if It Ain't Got That Swing
- Prayer
- Plenty Swing, Plenty Soul
