Jazz / Hard Bop
Sir Roland Hanna - Piano
George Mraz - Bass
Sir Roland Hanna was one of the major figures in jazz. His diverse experience as a musician (pianist and cellist), composer, arranger, teacher, diplomat, and humanitarian made him a dynamic driving force in the development of the art form. His amazingly varied career included serving as Sarah Vaughan's musical director, anchoring the Rosegarden Orchestra on the Dick Cavett show, touring with a classical quartet performing his cello compositions and the New York Jazz Quartet. Sir Elf was his first solo recording, originally released in 1973 and winner of wide critical acclaim.
Pianist Roland Hanna's first solo album is one of his finest recordings. Whether it be a tribute to Art Tatum on "You Took Advantage of Me," a nod to Erroll Garner on "There Is No Greater Love," a humorous "Bye Bye Blackbird" or his original "Morning," Hanna is in top form on this well-paced and inventive set. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
Sir Roland Hanna
Active Decades: '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: Feb 10, 1932 in Detroit, MI
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Cool, Ballads, Post-Bop, Hard Bop, Mainstream Jazz, Standards
A talented pianist with a style diverse enough to fit into swing, bop, and more adventurous settings, Roland Hanna was one of the last in an impressive line of great pianists who emerged in Detroit after World War II (including Hank Jones, Barry Harris, and Tommy Flanagan). After serving in the Army and studying music at Eastman and Juilliard, Hanna made a strong impression playing with Benny Goodman (1958). He worked with Charles Mingus for a period in 1959, and went on to generally lead his own trios. Hanna was an integral part of the Thad JonesMel Lewis orchestra (1967-1974), and in 1974 helped found the New York Jazz Quartet (with Frank Wess). He was given knighthood (thus the "Sir") from the President of Liberia in 1970 in recognition for a series of concerts held to benefit Liberian children. Hanna recorded many solo dates and often with a trio, but also composed many works for groups of varying sizes - both for jazz groups and classical ensembles. His piece "Oasis" for piano and orchestra was performed by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra in 1993. In addition to his busy performing schedule, Hanna was also an active educator and tenured professor at Queens College in New York. After almost half a century of performing and recording, Sir Roland Hanna passed away at the age of 70 on November 13, 2002 after suffering a heart attack.
