There's a Sweet Sweet Spirit is an album by pianist Cyrus Chestnut. Recorded in 2017, it was released on the HighNote label the following year.[1] [2]
The AllMusic review by Matt Collar stated: "An adept virtuoso talent, Chestnut soars alongside Williams and White on 2017's There's a Sweet Sweet Spirit ... While all of his albums are worth checking out, there is something inspired and kinetic about his playing with Williams and White, as if they are all three pushing each other to discover new avenues of expression ... Ultimately, if there's one overriding sentiment that drives all of There's a Sweet Sweet Spirit, it's Chestnut and his band's spirit of soulful camaraderie".
According to The Observers reviewer, Dave Gelly: "It runs for exactly an hour, but there’s so much variety here, packed into what is essentially a piano trio album, that it seems over in half the time. There are jazz pieces by Monk, Miles Davis and others, an improvisation on a prelude by Chopin, a Stylistics soul classic, an original or two, and so on. And they all flow together quite naturally under the mellow influence of Cyrus Chestnut’s piano".[3]
