Sir Elf

Sir Roland Hanna was one of the major figures in jazz. His diverse experience as a musician (pianist and cellist), composer, arranger, teacher, diplomat, and humanitarian made him a dynamic driving force in the development of the art form. His amazingly varied career included serving as Sarah Vaughan's musical director, anchoring the Rosegarden Orchestra on the Dick Cavett show, touring with a classical quartet performing his cello compositions and the New York Jazz Quartet. Sir Elf was his first solo recording originally released in 1973 and won wide critical acclaim. Tracks include: You Took Advantage of Me, There Is No Greater Love, Bye Bye Blackbird, Morning.
