The subject of this day's profile was pianist Sir Roland Hanna (b. Detroit, 1932-d. New Jersey, 2002). We took a sampling from a career that spanned many different contexts and sounds even as his playing never lost its wit, responsiveness, and sophistication. Leena Mahan programmed the show beginning with Thad Jones & Mel Lewis, "Live at the Village Vanguard."
