SAMA Award winner Paul Hanmer hits the market with an immaculate “Greatest Hits” collection featuring his best works from 6 albums; all in one classic release..! Stickered to indicate this, the album features all the hit tracks from the massively popular “Trains To Taung” album (“Meeting of the Women”, Chef’s Groove, Consciencelesness” and “Tempo Di Butto”), interspersed with solo piano gems of sheer brilliance, hauntingly beautiful ensemble work combined with other up-tempo tracks, this truly is an “Essential Collecton” that embodies Paul Hanmer’s best works ever in a flowing musical portrait beyond compare. A brilliant collection of South Africa’s best jazz talent also features in this repertoire, including heavyweights: McCoy Mrubata, Louis Mhlanga, Marcus Wyatt, Ian Herman, Kevin Gibson, Sydney Mnisi amongst many others - an album and artist of impecasble pedigree and credibility...
Paul Hanmer, what can be said about this young Cape Town born composer and jazz musician that has not been said before. A prolific writer of many incredible memorable tunes, who I've had the great privilege to watch and listen to this young mans musical growth over the years and many of his compositions will go on to join the best standards in the South African jazz lexicon. Who can forget the iconic Meeting of the Women from hi debut album Train to Taueng, Hymn for the Ballies from the Unofficial Language debut. Oh! The list just goes on and on, great tunes all. The Essential Paul Hanmer is just that essential to any serious jazz music collection. 15 great track in all for one to enjoy and share with friends. - Eric Allan
