Voice Choices Cyrus Chestnut & Eric Reed Quartet
by Jim Macnie
It’s an evening of high-flying trade-offs: Expect the two pianists to exchange line after line after line. As their new Plenty Swing, Plenty Soul reminds us, they’re all about blowing, so “Two Bass Hit” and “I’ll Remember April” become rambunctious vehicles, and the way the pair bounce ideas off each other (and their deft rhythm section) assures that crescendos are continuous.
