David Hazeltine: Manhattan Autumn
by Jack Bowers
It’s always a pleasure to review an album on which tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander is showcased, as I'm pretty sure beforehand that I’ll thoroughly enjoy it. That sense of happy anticipation is appreciably heightened when he’s in the company of such accomplished playmates as leader / pianist David Hazeltine, bassist Peter Washington and drummer Joe Farnsworth, ...

David Hazeltine: The Classic Trio Meets Eric Alexander
by Jack Bowers
While this is his first meeting with the Classic Trio, tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander is no stranger to two of its members, having performed with pianist David Hazeltine in the New York-based co-op sextet One for All and with bassist Peter Washington on Alexander's recent albums, The First Milestone and The Second Milestone, among other dates. ...
David Hazeltine and the Classic Trio: The Classic Trio Meets Eric Alexander
by C. Michael Bailey
David Hazeltine, I presume... One has to admit that it is a bit presumptive to name a jazz combo the “Classic Trio." There have been many “Classic" piano trios. The ones that quickly spring to mind are Oscar Peterson, Bill Evans, Ahmad Jamel, Ray Brown, Gene Harris, and the list continues. Pianist David Hazeltine has ...
David Hazeltine: The Classic Trio Meets Eric Alexander
by Jim Santella
Audio samples from this mainstream quartet recording are available at David Hazeltine's web site . Straight ahead and always keeping the tradition alive, the pianist's trio complements Eric Alexander and adds sparkling interlude passages of its own. A healthy mix of originals and popular songs gives the session variety. Remember Jimmy Webb's “Didn't We"? Who can ...
David Hazeltine: The Classic Trio Meets Eric Alexander
by C. Andrew Hovan
Honing his skills to such a degree that it all sounds deceptively easy, David Hazeltine’s art is always in danger of being misunderstood because it’s not radically too far to the left or right. In other words, he’s a mainstream player working within the tradition. But you know it seems that these days you have to ...
Giacomo Gates: Fly Rite
by AAJ Staff
The top tunes on this recording, personally speaking, are “Girl Talk" and Spinnin' (Speedball). Gates seems to recite the lyric at times rather than singing them. In his vocalese bag, however, he is in his element and swings mightily. On 'Girl Talk" David Hazeltine's Piano work is cooly displayed and Jim Rotondi's Floogie solo is noteworthy. ...
