Sir Roland Hanna was one of the finest jazz pianists to ever grace a bandstand ... Colors from a Giant s Kit
is a release of the late pianist s recordings of a variety of compositions of his own and others. Hanna treats
the listener to an array of tunes in which his deep sense of rhythm and melody are portrayed in a variety of
mediums ... offers a variety of styles; ballad, blues, rag, and straight ahead jazz numbers. This CD is a joy to
listen to. Mostly for Hanna s brilliant work, but also for the track selection itself. --JazzReview *****
