The warm sound of Cyrus Chestnut's piano balances beautifully with the bass of Curtis Lundy and drums of Victor Lewis – very familiar musical partners who really make the session sparkle! Chestnut's got a great sense of melody throughout, but also finds a way to make the left side of the keyboard pulsate strongly – resonating with Lundy's bass in a beautiful way, and reminding us that Curtis is always a great player on a trio date like this. There's a resonance to the bass and piano that really showcases the strong sound of these Smoke Sessions albums – and titles include "To Be Determined", "Giant Steps", "The Theme", "Naima's Love Song", "Two Heartbeats", "Pocket Full Of Blues", and "Hey It's Me You're Talkin To".

Dave and the quartet pay tribute to the songwriting genius of Cole Porter – working with familiar older tunes, but nicely unlocking them with a strong sense of Brubeck modernism! Things start out slow, but get extremely playful as the set goes on – with fresh timings and phrasings that move the chestnuts past their usual territory – and allow some great space for crisp alto solos by Paul Desmond, always a treat in any Brubeck set! Dave himself sounds slightly heavier in his left hand on the keys – hitting things with a harder tone than one might expect for a Cole Porter session, and again making for an unusual twist for the material. Titles include "Night & Day", "Anything Goes", "Love For Sale", "What Is This Thing Called Love", "All Through The Night", and "You're The Top". CD

James Carter plays baritone, tenor, soprano sax, and bass clarinet – with a group that features Craig Taborn and Cyrus Chestnut on organ. CD

The music of Michael Carvin is always a revelation – a joyous, soulful outpouring of feeling that never fails to move us – and which always makes us wonder why more folks don't treasure gems like this that he made as a leader! Carvin's drum work is filled with energy from the get-go – but never in a too-showy, too-unbridled sort of way – just perfectly-balanced, perfectly-timed sense of rhythm that really seems to inspire the key players he's gathered around him. For this date, the lineup is especially nice – Claudio Roditi and Cecil Bridgewater on trumpets, Sonny Fortune on alto sax and flute, Cyrus Chestnut on piano, and David Williams on bass. John Hicks sits on on piano on one track – and the album's got some of the free-soaring spirituality that you'll find in Sonny Fortune's best work as a leader. Titles include "Morning", "Revelation", "Effi", "Thabo", "Avotcja", and "We Three Kings". CD

Roy Hargrove on trumpet and flugelhorn, Ron Blake on tenor and soprano sax, Cyrus Chestnut on piano, Rodney Whitaker on bass, and Gregory Hutchinson on drums. CD

Brassy LA sunshine big band from Marty Paich – with plenty of subtle, grooving twists & turns, too – with lots of lighter touches and late 50s Hollywood style! Marty is better remembered for his studio arrangement and production genius than as a band leader, but shows a really steady hand here handling a big group of jazz players including Pete Candoli, Herbie Harper, Herb Geller, Mel Lewis and others. Titles are mostly Paich compositions, with the exception of the centerpiece "What's New". Other numbers include "From Now On", "Walkin On Home", "Black Rose", "Tommy's Toon", "Easy Listnin", "Nice And Easy"and "Martytini Time" CD

Joris Teepe on bass and Don Braden on tenor sax – with Tom Harrell on trumpet, Cyrus Chestnut on piano, and Carl Allen on drums. CD

Features Japanese reedman Sadao Watanabe with a great group of younger musicians including Nicholas Payton on trumpet, Cyrus Chestnut on piano, Christian McBride on bass, and others. CD

A really unique take on the music of The Beatles – one that starts in the classic 60s years of the Blue Note label, and which moves into the more recent vocal work that's become the label's strongest calling card! All tracks are Lennon/McCartney numbers (sorry George & Ringo!) – and titles include "Can't Buy Me Love" by Grant Green, "Yesterday" by Lee Morgan, "Norwegian Wood" by Buddy Rich, "Hello Goodbye" by Bud Shank & Chet Baker, "A Day In The Life" by Grant Green, "Eleanor Rigby" by Stnaley Jordan, "Blackbird" by Tony Williams, "I've Just Seen A Face" by Holly Cole, and "Come Together" by Dianne Reeves & Cassandra Wilson.
