Over a crisp calypso beat from collaborators Ron Carter and Grady Tate, Hanna opens Apres Un Reve,  with a composition by pianist Arthur Rubinstein. With a minimum of fuss and affect, he proceeds to ruminate upon the beautiful melodies of Mahler, Dvorak, Borodin, Mozart, Faure, Schubert and Chopin with enviable lucidity and control of touch at tempos swinging and rubato, propelled by Carter's perfect note choices. The touch is light, the content isn't. It's Hanna's final work, capping a career devoted to the rejection of cant and to the principle of deploying all 88 notes on the piano in the process of self expression. ~ Ted Panken (Downbeat)  http://www.rahannamusic.com/cds_new.html
