*PLEASE NOTE: All 7PM and 9PM shows at Smoke are Dinner Shows $35|$40|$50|$55 Stacy Dillard – tenor saxophone Cyrus Chestnut – piano Gerald Cannon – bass Chris Beck – drums “The best jazz pianist of his generation.” – Time Cyrus Chestnut, the soulful and brilliant jazz pianist, leads an exciting quartet with saxophonist Stacy Dillard, bassist Gerald Cannon, and drummer Chris Beck. “His brand of crisp articulation and blues-inflected harmony evokes another era… multifaceted and dynamic…” says The New York Times. Inspired by gospel music throughout his life, Chestnut infuses his swinging, classically trained style with a warm gospel sound. He draws on a range of musical influences while never straying too far from the blues, which The New York Daily News says makes him “the rightful heir to Bud Powell, Art Tatum, and Erroll Garner.”
