Our Take

DAVID HAZELTINE's latest album, "Close To You," feels like a warm hug on a cold winter's day. The veteran pianist brings his A-game to this collection of classic love songs, reimagining them in his own unique jazz style.

From the moment you press play, you are transported to a smoky jazz club, with Hazeltine's nimble fingers dancing across the keys. The way he breathes new life into old favourites like "Close To You" and "What the World Needs Now Is Love" is nothing short of magical.

Hazeltine's arrangements are smart and sophisticated, blending traditional jazz with modern sensibilities. His bandmates, including the talented saxophonist Seamus Blake and drummer Joe Strasser, provide the perfect accompaniment, elevating each track to new heights.

But what truly sets "Close To You" apart is Hazeltine's playful sense of humour. Tracks like "They Long to Be Close to You" are infused with a cheeky charm that is impossible to resist. It's clear that Hazeltine is having a blast, and his infectious energy is contagious.

In a world that often feels cold and distant, David Hazeltine's "Close To You" is a welcome reminder of the power of music to bring us together. So sit back, pour yourself a glass of your favourite tipple, and let Hazeltine's warm embrace wash over you. Trust us, you won't want to leave.
