ISAAC HAYES & CYRUS CHESTNUT QUARTET
Saturday, May 4, 2002 @ 8 PM
Isaac Hayes (Theme from "Shaft")is not only a great R&B performer
- but his roots as a singer and musician reach deep into blues and jazz. He's
sharing Proctor's stage with the astonishing Cyrus Chestnut (Cyrus Chestnut
& Friends, A Charlie Brown Christmas) - whose virtuostic piano playing has
prompted the Detroit News to describe him as "a pianistic wizard who blends
the agility of Oscar Peterson with the incisiveness of Monk."
