Cyrus Chestnut - Renowned Jazz Pianist
In an effort to reach out to the surrounding community; my church started a special series last week called “Gospel Jazz Under the Stars”. For the next three Fridays, different jazz artists will be coming to share their gifts and talents.
Last Friday, world renowned jazz pianist - and Baltimore’s own I might add - Cyrus Chestnut wooed the crowd with his God-given ability to make the piano sing its own song.
His 90-minute set included old, familiar hymns and upbeat selections that even had the “mothers” of the church dancing in their seats to the rhythm. He reminded me of why I love good jazz so much.
It was a wonderful way to start the Gospel jazz series. It continues tonight and for the next three Fridays.

I really enjoyed Cyrus Chestnut as well as the other musicians on last Friday. Mr. Chestnut really did an outstanding job bringing that gospel flavor to the jazz genre. If anyone missed out there are 2 more Friday’s left.

It is vitally important that the church extends herself beyond the sacred walls that our witness would remain relevant as we attempt to reach all people for Christ. Thank you for your prayers and support!!! Gospel Jazz under the Stars was a tremendous blessing to the glory of God.
