Perugia: Live At Montreux 74 – Roland Hanna – LP – Pre Owned Vinyl (Arrives in 14days)

Captured on the fabled Montreux Jazz Festival stage in 1974, ‘Perugia: Live At Montreux 74’ finds pianist Roland Hanna at a rare crossroads of technical mastery and spontaneous creation. Known for his elegant touch and adventurous harmonic sense, Hanna seizes the solo piano format as a canvas for boundless exploration. The album’s title track, ‘Perugia,’ is an unfolding suite of melodic motifs and rhythmic surprises—an ode to the freedom that only live performance can provide. Hanna’s interpretations breathe with a sense of risk and invention, drawing from both the jazz tradition and a deeply personal well of expression. You can hear echoes of classical rigor blending seamlessly with bluesy phrases and modern jazz flourishes, making each piece a singular journey. This recording stands out not only for its historical context—Montreux being a meeting ground for jazz legends—but also for its sheer intimacy: just one man, a piano, and a world of ideas. For collectors and listeners alike, this album is an invitation to witness a singular jazz voice in a moment of pure, unfiltered creativity.
