Review by David R. Adler
Another solid Criss Cross date from David Hazeltine, this one featuring
an unusual front line: Jim Snidero on alto sax and Steve Davis on
trombone. (Straight-ahead groups more routinely feature trumpet and sax,
with trombone as a possible third horn.) Bassist Nat Reeves and drummer
Tony Reedus drive the rhythm; guitarist Jesse Van Ruller replaces the
horns on a seductive rendition of Denny Zeitlin's "Quiet Now" and joins
the full band for a closing romp on Charlie Parker's "Barbados." Steve
Davis gets two writing spots with the deliciously relaxed "Cozytine" and
the sun-bright, hard-swinging title track. Hazeltine's two creations
are the grooving, mid-tempo "Blueslike" and the moody bossa "Demasiado
Dulce." (Snidero plays flute on the latter.)

Reseña de David R. Adler
Otro sólido Criss Cross de David Hazeltine, este con una inusual línea
de frente: Jim Snidero en el saxo alto y Steve Davis en el trombón. (Los
grupos de cabeza más rutinarios presentan trompeta y saxo, con el
trombón como posible tercer cuerno). El bajista Nat Reeves y el
baterista Tony Reedus llevan el ritmo; el guitarrista Jesse Van Ruller
sustituye los cuernos en una seductora interpretación de "Quiet Now" de
Denny Zeitlin y se une a la banda completa para un retozo final en
"Barbados" de Charlie Parker. Steve Davis consigue dos puestos de
escritor con el deliciosamente relajado "Cozytine" y la brillante y dura
canción del título. Las dos creaciones de Hazeltine son el grooving, de
ritmo medio "Blueslike" y el malhumorado bossa "Demasiado Dulce".
(Snidero toca la flauta en el último.)
