Dream
Milano, Paris, New York CD cover

Imperatives of collective thinking and interplay dominate Milano, Paris, New York, Finding John Lewis (Venus 35303, 57:33, ), and elegant swinging meditation by Hanna, bassist George Mraz and drummer Lewis Nash on five Lewis originals and three ambitious compositions by the leader. Hanna's percussive, orchestral variations reveal his deep connection to Detroit piano heroes Hank Jones, Tommy Flanagan and Barry Harris and he sustains the ongoing high-low dialogue between the vocabularies of Euro-classical and bob-blues vernacular that marks both his own life's work and that of the album's dedicatee.-

Everything I Love
Everything I Love CD cover

Tributaries: Reflections on Tommy Flanagan (IPO 1004). Ending this inspiring concert is Roland’s tender version of Tommy Flanagan’s "Delarna." This moving tribute to his departed friend is a fitting close to a remarkable program performed by a remarkable artist who, in Duke Ellington's much used phrase, was truly "beyond category." Not many solo pianists can hold one’s interest for an entire CD. The scope and variety of this musical journey could only be expressed by a talent like Sir Roland Hanna.
