Another solid Criss Cross date from David Hazeltine, this one featuring an unusual front line: Jim Snidero on alto sax and Steve Davis on trombone. (Straight-ahead groups more routinely feature trumpet and sax, with trombone as a possible third horn.) Bassist Nat Reeves and drummer Tony Reedus drive the rhythm; guitarist Jesse Van Ruller replaces the horns on a seductive rendition of Denny Zeitlin's "Quiet Now" and joins the full band for a closing romp on Charlie Parker's "Barbados." Steve Davis gets two writing spots with the deliciously relaxed "Cozytine" and the sun-bright, hard-swinging title track. Hazeltine's two creations are the grooving, mid-tempo "Blueslike" and the moody bossa "Demasiado Dulce." (Snidero plays flute on the latter.) ~ David R.Adler  http://www.allmusic.com/album/good-hearted-people-mw0000014383 

Personnel: David Hazeltine (piano); Jesse Van Ruller (guitar); Jim Snidero (flute, alto saxophone); Steve Davis (trombone); Tony Reedus (drums).
