On his sixth date as a leader for Criss Cross, David Hazeltine reconvenes the trio from the critically acclaimed 2004 release "Close To You" (CRC #1247). Utilizing incisive skills as a composer, arranger and pianist, Hazeltine plays three originals, Buddy Montgomery's "Blues For David," and five standards, including a provocative treatment of Cole Porter's "Love For Sale." Bassist Peter Washington and drummer Joe Farnsworth surpass the role of accompanists and make indispensable contributions to this exceptional recording.
