"Cyrus Chestnut is a wonderful young talent and this cd showcases him terrifically. I strongly disagree with a previous reviewer that this is even close to easy listening. First, Cyrus plays extremely aggressively. Without ever losing his touch he bangs the heck out of the keyboard on some selections. This is, after all a trio (which is joined by a saxophonist on three songs that all work). The trio is a classic jazz lineup and sometimes, it is exactly what you want to hear. This cd rewards on the first listening and is still pleasing me!"
