Thanks also to a formidable rhythm, with Natural Essence Cyrus Chestnut signs one of the most convincing works of his discography. Maintaining the link with the tradition of swing, this trio rhythmically and dynamically defines dynamic tension. To this is added a vibrant communicative vis and the new imprinting, with a swinging average time, in the imaginative rereading of "It Could Happen To You" and "I Cover The Waterfront." Through sophisticated harmonizations, the American pianist ascends the way he knows how to touch and revive the deeper strings of the interpreted standards. 

Its elegant touch, rhythmically incisive, illuminates the solid interplay of a perfect equilibrium formation. His blues feeling pervades every song interpreted, to make us savor the most authentic and genuine roots of jazz. Thanks to a skilful use of dynamics, tension and distension alternate to innervate also the episodes mentioned above, at a slow pace. ~ Maurizio Zerbo https://www.allaboutjazz.com/natural-essence-cyrus-chestnut-highnote-records-review-by-maurizio-zerbo.php?width=1920
