Our Take

SIR ROLAND HANNA's latest offering, "I Love Be-Bopin," is a delightful romp through the world of jazz, with a British twist that will leave you tapping your toes and reaching for your nearest cup of tea. Hanna, known for his virtuoso piano skills and playful improvisation, brings a fresh energy to classic bebop tunes that is both charming and effortlessly cool.

From the opening track, "Swingin' Bloke," to the closing notes of "Cheeky Rhythm," Hanna's mastery of the genre is on full display, with each track showcasing his technical proficiency and deep love for the music. The British influence on the album is undeniable, with cheeky nods to London's bustling jazz scene and sly references to tea time scattered throughout.

But "I Love Be-Bopin" is not just a rehash of old standards - Hanna infuses each track with his own unique flair, blending classic bebop with modern sensibilities to create a sound that is both nostalgic and forward-thinking. Songs like "Jive Jamboree" and "Boppin' in Britain" are sure to have you bopping along in no time, while slower numbers like "Tea Time Ballad" showcase Hanna's delicate touch and emotional depth.

Overall, "I Love Be-Bopin" is a must-have for any jazz aficionado, and a delightful addition to SIR ROLAND HANNA's already impressive discography. So grab a cuppa, settle in, and let yourself be swept away by the charming sounds of this British jazz maestro. Cheers!
