David Hazeltine Trio - Cleopatra's Dream
Recorded on June 24-25, 2005
Label: Venus
Release year: 5/29/2006
Bitrate: 224-320 kbps
The capable New York City-based pianist David Hazeltine dives head first into the music of Bud Powell on these 2005 sessions with
veteran bassist George Mraz and drummer Billy Drummond. His straight-ahead interpretation of "Tempus Fugit" is full of energy yet
without the quirky stop-and-go flavor of many recordings. "Wail" is a light-hearted affair, while the trio saunters through an
easygoing take of "Bouncing with Bud." Hazeltine's dexterity is put to the test with a brisk rendition of "Dance of the Infidels," while
his lyrical approach to the ballad "I'll Keep Loving You" also merits praise. Some of Powell's less frequently performed numbers are
also explored, including the playful "Danceland" that showcases Hazeltine's partners at length, along with a breezy Latin-flavored
setting of "Cleopatra's Dream." The CD wraps with "This One's for Bud," a fine salute to Powell by the pianist. ~ Ken Dryden
