Katherine Powell

Protagonista è il colonnello inglese Katherine Powell, che dirige a distanza un'operazione contro una cellula terroristica a Nairobi. Il suo "occhio" sul campo è un drone pilotato in Nevada dal giovane ufficiale Steve Watts, ma quando diventa inevitabile sferrare un attacco entrambi realizzano che anche una bambina innocente finirebbe tra le vittime. Mentre nessun politico nella "war room" londinese vuole prendersi la responsabilità di una decisione, una drammatica serie di eventi fa precipitare la situazione.

David Hazeltine is a prolific pianist who releases at least one leader album a year, in addition to his work as a sideman and a member of well-known groups such as One For All. It is astonishing that his numerous CDs are never dull or boring. There is no doubt that he is at the most creative and productive stage of his career. In the past, Hazeltine has released several "songbook" CDs from Venus Records, paying tribute to pianists and composers such as Bill Evans, Bud Powell and Horace Silver. His latest is a Burt Bacharach songbook. As usual, Hazeltine shows off his impressive arranging skills and reimagines such Bacharach classics as "The Look of Love", "Walk on by", "This Guy is in Love", "Alfie" and "Close to You". Hazeltine's crisp and assured piano performance is creatively supported by his bandmates and fellow One For All members, David Williams and Joe Farnsworth.
