Battle, jazz masters to thrill Hill
Jazz is famous for being filled with impossible personalities. Bird was a terror to work with, not to mention his penchant for junkie rages. Ray Charles is a relentless taskmaster and absolute perfectionist, as is pianist Marcus Roberts. All of this makes someone like Cyrus Chestnut a breath of sweet air.
In a recent telephone interview with The Michigan Daily, Chestnut spoke for a good 15 minutes from a pay phone at a mall somewhere in Florida as he shopped with his wife. To have a musician of his stature interrupt his day for a phone interview is one thing. To have him do it from a pay phone in such a gracious and relaxed manner is quite another.
