Peter Washington (b) and Lewis Nash (ds), famous as the rhythm section of the Tommy Flanagan Trio in its final years, join the trio! Cyrus Chestnut, one of the most talented and popular pianists of our time, dedicated this piano trio work to his beloved father, MacDonald Chestnut, who passed away in 2021. This sad and beautiful album features Peter Washington (b) and Lewis Nash (ds), who were well known as the rhythm section of the Tommy Flanagan Trio in their later years. There are many famous jazz artists who followed in their father's footsteps to learn music. Ellis Marsalis and his sons, Dewey Redman and Joshua Redman, Papa John and Joey DeFrancesco, Bucky and John Pizzarelli, Harry Connick Sr. \u0026amp; Jr. said, \"This piece is my way of saying thank you to my father. My father inspired so many people in his life, and I want to do everything I can to inspire them as he did.\" says Cyrus.He grew up in a privileged musical environment with a father who was a church organist and a mother who was a choir director, and he joined Jon Hendricks' group in 1986, then worked with Terence Blanchard and Donald Harrison from 1988 to 1990. In the 1990s, he joined the bands of Wynton Marsalis and Betty Carter, whom many musicians look up to as great mentors. The 10 songs on the album include four original songs that depict memories of his father, and in between are standard songs that have meaning for him and for himself. The beautiful ballad \"Epilogue,\" which was composed with the scene of his last breath in mind, is especially moving. The album cover is a painting by Cyrus himself. Peter and Lewis give excellent performances on all the songs, making this a highly recommended album.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.Nippon Soul Connection\u003cbr\u003e2.Thinking About You\u003cbr\u003e3.Cubano Chant\u003cbr\u003e4.Baubles, Bangles and Beads\u003cbr\u003e5.Yesterday\u003cbr\u003e6.I Must Tell Jesu\u003cbr\u003e7.Working Out Just Fine\u003cbr\u003e8.There Will Never Be Another You\u003cbr\u003e9.But Beautiful\u003cbr\u003e10.Epilogue\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Highnote","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47744129958177,"sku":"632375733926","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/632375733926.jpg?v=1704123717","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-us\/products\/632375733926","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
