On the 12th of July 2000, I had the honour of sitting with Tanana’s, Wired to the Floor and a plethora of other collaborations’ pianist and composer Paul Hanmer.  

Playola was the album we were aiming to unpack in our time together. Apologies as always for the ambient distraction. This cassette recording is raw and entirely unedited if only to give you a sense of the moment we shared.  

A critical thread in the rich jazz fabric of South Africa, this album, and everything else Paul's recorded before and since, each captures a space in time. His gift remains to create a place to claim as your own.  #playola #Paulhanmer #tananas #wiredtothefloor #abrandnewworld
