The Time Is Now, finds David Hazeltine, one of the top pianists of his generation, forging an impeccably swinging partnership with two other masters: bassist Ron Carter and drummer Al Foster.
These men all come directly from the straight-ahead jazz tradition; though Hazeltine is a half a generation younger than his two bandmates, he spent many years working with such giants of the music as Sonny Stitt, Chet Baker, Eddie Harris, and Buddy
Montgomery. He’s since become one of the leading torchbearers for that estimable standard, both on his own and through his work with the swinging super-group One For All. His efforts have made him one of the most-streamed straight-ahead jazz artists alive today, and he’s passing his knowledge onto new generations through his teaching,
clinics and online workshops.
“I wanted to do something new and push myself out of my comfort zone when composing and arranging for this recording,” he says. “I’d never recorded trio with Ron and Al and I knew that I wanted the music to be above all beautiful, swinging, and
harmonically interesting, yet not overly arranged. That would allow the three of us to do what we do best: creating and improvising on a framework.” Hearing these three masterful musicians conversing together, one may regret that it hasn’t happened sooner, or more often. But in the hands of such visionary and skilled artists, The Time Is Now is a notion that’s always true – no matter the time.

The Time Is Now, encuentra a David Hazeltine, uno de los mejores pianistas de su generación, forjando una asociación impecable con otros dos maestros: el bajista Ron Carter y el baterista Al Foster.
Todos estos hombres proceden directamente de la tradición del jazz directo; aunque Hazeltine es media generación más joven que sus dos compañeros de banda, pasó muchos años trabajando con gigantes de la música como Sonny Stitt, Chet Baker, Eddie Harris y Buddy
Montgomery. Desde entonces se ha convertido en uno de los principales portadores de ese estimable estándar, tanto por su cuenta como a través de su trabajo con el supergrupo de swing One For All. Sus esfuerzos le han convertido en uno de los artistas de jazz directo más difundidos en la actualidad, y está transmitiendo sus conocimientos a las nuevas generaciones a través de su enseñanza,
clínicas y talleres en línea.
"Quería hacer algo nuevo y salir de mi zona de confort al componer y arreglar para esta grabación", dice. "Nunca había grabado un trío con Ron y Al y sabía que quería que la música fuera sobre todo hermosa, con swing y
interesante desde el punto de vista armónico, pero que no tuviera demasiados arreglos. Eso nos permitiría a los tres hacer lo que mejor sabemos hacer: crear e improvisar sobre un marco." Al escuchar a estos tres magistrales músicos conversando juntos, uno puede lamentar que no haya ocurrido antes, o más a menudo. Pero en manos de artistas tan visionarios y hábiles, The Time Is Now es una noción que siempre es cierta, sin importar el momento.
