I was introduced to Sir Roland a year ago via this CD. Previously I'd given the name no more than a slightly amused thought, but this CD just knocked me out. After many many playings it still does. The sheer talent of the man is staggering. His lyrical playing is moving and deeply sensitive ("Where or when" and "Perugia"); his astonishing dexterity smacks you between the ears in "Indiana"; and his offbeat approach to the drolly discordant and yet successful "Bye bye Blackbird" is unmatched.
Roland is, I think, at his best in solo work. His outings with other musicians have always been good but they of necessity limited his freedom to fully express himself. Most of my other Hanna CDs are solos. And technically just listen to his skill in the delicacy of his touch at the extreme ends of the keyboard - light as a butterfly's wing. He's the only piano player in my experience to whose left hand I listen as much as his right. Instead of the left hand acting merely as a cushion or springboard for the right the two mix and are of equal merit and importance. His left hand plays tunes too!
I love the guy - as you may have gathered. Get this CD and that entitled "Walkin'". Some of the very best solo piano ever - and for my money that includes the better known pianists such as Powell, Monk, Evans, Flanagan or Peterson.
