I can't remember if it was on this list that someone asked about Cyrus
Chestnut and Courtney Pine, but at any rate check Courtney Pines new
release, it features Cyrus on piano and B-3 and also has Nicholas Payton on
Trumpet who is so TALENTED it also features Dj Pogo on tables and a lovely
Jhelisa who I am not familiar with on vocals the whole CD grooves harder
than any of his other releases, his first two were way over the New Agey
line, the last one was good but lacked what he made up for on his newest.
Check it out a super fine example of tables being used in a pretty
classical jazzsetup-
Also in a previous post today about gigs in S.F. Dave Ellis was mentioned.
If you ever get a chance to see this cat PLEASE go, he used to play with
Charlie Hunter but now has his own gig going, its cool to see so many young
cats doing there thing and finally getting the respect that is due.

Peace
