The fifth work of Manhattan Trinity, which has been gradually powered up. Cyrus Chestnut, an immovable member of George Mraz (b) and Lewis Nash (ds), has been recognized by Ray Bryant as the legitimate successor to the black funky piano. In this work, jazz-born "lonely genius" Sonny Rollins challenges the number that has left eternity, and Nash, who has a reputation for percussive performance, has created a splendid Latin rhythm. Nowadays, there are no bebop drummers, and in an era when the generations below Nash with a new sensation occupy the majority, such a new swing feeling is created here as well.

The charm of this band is that Cyrus Chestnut, George Mraz & Lewis Nash are playing on an equal footing. This is the sixth work, a song selection centered on the Sonny Rollins repertoire. Two songs by Stevie Wonder. It's an elegant trio performance.

The seventh work in total and the fourth work in the trio organization is the "Musicians Standard" work played by the evolving black orthodox piano Cyrus Chestnut. Above all, the virtuosity of Cyrus and the heavy tone of Murat's bass, which have glimpsed the veteran territory even in elaborate arrangements such as A.C.H, resonate with my heart. Manhattan Trinity: Cyrus Chestnut (p) George Mraz (b) Lews Nash (ds): Recorded at The Studio, NYC on August 3 & 4,2004

From the perspective of a chestnut piano that follows the royal road of black main streamers, (2) (4) (9) are the favorite songs. His true essence, which has been characterized by grooves and lyrical phrases that can be said to be a direct line of Ray Bryant, is still (9). Murats are also groovy enough.
