Cyrus Chestnut – “My Influences”
Videos: Betty Carter and Musician Arrogance & Cyrus Chestnut Trio: Jazz! Gospel! Latin!
I was looking for a Betty Carter video for the next Jazz Interlude. I came across a video of Cyrus Chestnut commenting on his brief stint with Betty Carter, so I thought I would use him to introduce the Betty Carter Interlude. I’ve been hijacked! (I promise Betty Carter will be the next Jazz Interlude.) Cyrus Chestnut and his trio are nothing short of wonderful to listen to. I sit here with a smile on my face and inspired “to keep on keepin’ on!” Once you watched and listened, you’ll understand.
