Jazz and Conversation � Cyrus Chestnut (featuring Anita Baker): Summertime

Jazz and Conversation � That Time Of Year: "Here’s a recent version from pianist Cyrus Chestnut, one of the most underrated and talented pianists in the jazz world. He’s got Ron Carter and Lewis Nash behind him, (playing slow and easy) and pop/soul diva Anita Baker doing the vocal work. I love the way Chestnut sneaks into his solo, and Baker’s delivery is crisp, sweet and sultry. It makes you want to hear Baker do more of this kind of thing. (If any pop singer could make a good “standards” album, she’d be the one.)"
