Roland Hanna, one of the most flexible pianists of any generation, is heard to the greatest advantage in the most basic of musical situations: unaccompanied. Except for Duke Ellington’s Everything but You, all the tunes in this album are Roland Hanna originals, and the fact that he is a composer of considerable talent is only the icing on an already delicious cake.

“This reissue brings back the original recorded album in 1979 plus seven compatible selections from 1973 that were previously unreleased. Throughout, Hanna (who is usually heard in a trio) plays unaccompanied piano solos. Of the 16 selections, ten are by Hanna, and he proves to be an underrated composer whose songs deserve to be covered by others. Hanna’s roots are in swing and Duke Ellington, and that aspect of his musical personality is here, along with some more adventurous moments. A strong outing by a brilliant and distinctive pianist.” (Scott Yanow, AMG)
