The highly successful monthly Jazz at Lincoln Center series marches on next week with a much anticipated performance by the Cyrus Chestnut Trio, who bring together old-school jazz, blues and gospel with a heartfelt passion. From a childhood spent playing the piano at church, Chestnut (above) went on to perform with jazz greats such as Chick Corea and Dizzy Gillespie. He has rightly earned his place alongside today’s standout players, with Time magazine calling him “the best jazz pianist of his generation.”
Teatro Vivian Blumenthal (Tomas V. Gomez 125), Thursday, May 14, 9 p.m. 200 pesos.
