David Hazeltine is one of the best pianists and arrangers of our time. For a while now he has been releasing albums dedicated to specific musicians and composers. For Cleopatra's Dream, Hazeltine performed compositions by the legendary Bud Powell.
For most pianists, it would be a formidable task to rework Powell's compositions as he was a respected guitarist who could play the instrument as well as anyone. Hazeltine wildly succeeds by not trying to ape Powell's unique style but rather by bringing out the elegant melodies and tenderness of the compositions.
George Mraz on bass and Billy Drummond on drums provide exceptional support and add dazzling solos. The title of Hazeltine's only composition on the album says it all: "This One's for Bud."
