David Hazeltine • Blues For Gerry

 

Editorial Review:
Pianist David Hazeltine has a history with Criss Cross. To be specific, between 1995 and 2010, Gerry Teekens, the label's founder, presented eight albums on which Hazeltine led trios, quartets and quintets featuring his impeccable, individualistic pianism, original compositions and arrangements; another five with the cooperative all-star sextet One For All (tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander, trombonist Steve Davis, trumpeter Jim Rotondi, bassists Peter Washington or John Webber, and drummer Joe Farnsworth), whose grooving, harmonically acute charts bear his stamp; and another 17 as a sideman with the aforementioned luminaries, trumpeter Brian Lynch, alto saxophonist Jim Snidero, and other high-level jazzfolk who now hold pride of place in the hardcore jazz ecosystem.
Hazeltine returns to the fold with Blues For Gerry, his first Criss Cross leader date since Inversions (2010, Criss 1326), a lovely quintet date that included Alexander and vibraphonist Steve Nelson. Recorded in a single six-hour session on December 1, 2022, it's his third state of the art trio recital for Criss Cross with modern masters Peter Washington and Joe Farnsworth, following the equally accomplished Perambulation (2005, Criss 1276) and Close To You (2003, Criss 1247).
The album was recorded December 1, 2022 at the Samurai Hotel Recording Studio in NY. Recording engineer Mike Marciano also did the editing, mixing and mastering at Systems Two in NY. Photography by Anna Yatskevich.

Revisión editorial:
El pianista David Hazeltine tiene una historia con Criss Cross. En concreto, entre 1995 y 2010, Gerry Teekens, fundador del sello, presentó ocho discos en los que Hazeltine lideró tríos, cuartetos y quintetos con su impecable pianismo individualista, originales composiciones y arreglos; otros cinco con el sexteto cooperativo de estrellas One For All (el saxofonista tenor Eric Alexander, el trombonista Steve Davis, el trompetista Jim Rotondi, los bajistas Peter Washington o John Webber, y el baterista Joe Farnsworth), cuyas tablas armónicamente agudas llevan su sello; y otros 17 como acompañante de las luminarias antes mencionadas, el trompetista Brian Lynch, el saxofonista alto Jim Snidero y otros jazzfolk de alto nivel que ahora ocupan un lugar de honor en el ecosistema del hardcore jazz.
Hazeltine regresa al redil con Blues For Gerry, su primera cita como líder de Criss Cross desde Inversions (2010, Criss 1326), una encantadora cita de quinteto que incluía a Alexander y al vibrafonista Steve Nelson. Grabado en una sola sesión de seis horas el 1 de diciembre de 2022, es su tercer recital de trío de última generación para Criss Cross con los maestros modernos Peter Washington y Joe Farnsworth, luego de Perambulation (2005, Criss 1276) y Close To You. (2003, Criss 1247).
El álbum fue grabado el 1 de diciembre de 2022 en el Samurai Hotel Recording Studio en Nueva York. El ingeniero de grabación Mike Marciano también realizó la edición, mezcla y masterización en Systems Two en Nueva York. Fotografía por Anna Yatskevich.
