The New Classic Trio

The New Classic Trio

David Hazeltine's 1997 release, <b>The Classic Trio</b>, is one of Sharp Nine's most successful releases and a consistent back catalog seller. <b>The New Classic Trio</b> features new members George Mraz (notable for his association with pianists Oscar Peterson and Tommy Flanagan) on bass and Hazeltine's long-time associate Joe Farnsworth on drums. Like the original, <b>The New Classic Trio</b> represents the modern piano trio at its best, combining sophisticated writing and arranging with the simple pleasure of pure, foot-tapping swing. Highlights of this session are Hazeltine's arrangement of <i>My Heart Stood Still</i> and four new originals from this acclaimed composer. This release is a must for fans of the great tradition of swinging piano trios.
