Pianist Cyrus Chestnut joins up with drummer Lenny White and bassist Buster Williams on ‘There’s A Sweet Sweet Spirit’. Vibraphonist Steve Nelson joins on three tracks including the covers of Bobby Hutcherson’s ‘Little B’s Poem’ and ‘The Littlest One of All’. The music is classy but predominately gentle. Chestnut shows his versatility on ‘Chopin’s Prelude’ taking to the classical idiom with ease. The Jazz take on the Stylistics’ ‘You Make Me Feel Brand New’ is another highlight. Williams’ ‘Christina’ is simple and beautiful, whilst Cyrus’ own ‘CDC’ hits a slightly faster tempo. ‘There’s A Sweet Sweet Spirit’ is a nice listening straight-ahead Jazz set.
