Dr. Lonnie Smith & Cyrus Chestnut in Nashville--March 31st
Legendary Hammond B-3 Organist Dr. Lonnie Smith along with acclaimed jazz pianist Cyrus Chestnut return to Nashville, Tennessee in concert on Monday, March 31, 2014 at Fisk Memorial Chapel at 7:00 p.m. The evening is curated by Watchman Music with proceeds to benefit Fisk University along with The Daniel Payne Outreach Ministries, Inc.. General admission tickets are $25.


The evening will begin with an energized set of solo piano from master jazz pianist Cyrus Chestnut making his 1st return to Nashville in over a decade. The New York Times notes Chestnut as a "highly intelligent improviser with one of the surest senses of swing in jazz." His latest recording, "Soul Brother Cool" highlights his unique blend of jazz, soul and gospel influences over ten unique originals. Since his emergence on the international music scene in the 1990s he has collaborated with a who's who of vocalists and instrumentalists including Kathleen Battle, Vanessa Williams, Wynton Marsalis Roy Hargrove and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

Since last year's sold out appearance in Nashville last April, Dr. Lonnie Smith released the double CD "In The Beginning" featuring tunes originally composed and recorded during the 1960s alongside peers such as trumpeter Lee Morgan, saxophonist David "Fathead" Newman, guitarists George Benson and  Melvin Sparks and drummer Idris Muhammad. The recording topped year end "top album" jazz lists in such publications as Jazz Times, Downbeat and The New York City Jazz Record. Throughout his five decade career,  Dr. Lonnie has topped both the Jazz Journalist Association and Downbeat Critics and Readers polls as "#1 Jazz Organist".

All ticket proceeds will go to benefit Fisk University and Daniel Payne Outreach Ministries. Founded in 1866, Fisk is Nashville's 1st university. Fisk received a charter for the first chapter of The Phi Beta Kappa Society on a predominantly black campus in 1953. Fisk's outstanding faculty and students continue to enhance the University's national reputation for academic excellence that is validated year after year by the leading third party reviewers, as well as by the pool of talented applicants and the large percentage of alumni who complete graduate or professional degrees and become leaders and scholars in their fields.

Founded in 1985, The Daniel Payne Outreach Ministries primarily serve the Nashville community through three initiatives. The Living Breadbox served over 10,000 meals in 2013 to Nashville area families in need of emergency food assistance. The ASK-PEP(Alcohol Screening and Knowledge-Parents Educating Parents) Program has been placed on the State of Tennessee's "Historic Community Initiatives" list for its 20 year effort in reducing youth delinquency in cooperation with Metro Nashville's Police and Juvenile Justice System. Likewise, the Daniel Payne Childcare Center prepares pre-K students for Kindergarten and beyond while providing affordable before and after care for children ages 2 to 11.
