Let's make this birthday one to remember.

62 years old (Born on January 17, 1963)

Happy Birthday to the incredible Cyrus Chestnut, a jazz pianist whose fearless fingers dance across keys—and sometimes boldly hover above them—proving silence can swing just as hard as sound! Your daring disregard for notes has given us countless unforgettable moments, reminding everyone that true genius often lies in knowing exactly when not to play.

From your mesmerizing performances at legendary venues worldwide, to your recent acclaimed recordings showcasing unmatched creativity and soulful expression, you've consistently redefined what it means to be a master of jazz piano. Here's wishing you another year filled with joyful improvisation and perfectly timed pauses. Keep swinging (and occasionally resting), maestro!
