This truly is the best album that few know about.......2004-05-28

I first learned about Paul Hanmer while studying abroad in South Africa. His music touched my soul. This unique blend of percussion instruments struck me as odd at first, then the love set in. Paul Hanmer deserves a lot more credit than he is given.

Paul Hanmer is a joyful surprise to anyone not familar with the deep American jazz traditions of South Africa. "Train to Taung" is deep in the tradition of fellow South African Dollar Brand's
"Mannenberg" which could well be the best unknown jazz album in the world. Take the frills out of Oscar Peterson! Toss in a touch of the keyboards artistry of Marcus Roberts! And add the brilliant compositions of Bill Evans and you have Paul Hanmer. Let's hope that many more CDs by Hanmer come our way.
