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

Paul Hanmer Matters

My guest this week is South African jazz pianist and composer Paul Hanmer. Over the years he  has worked with some of the giants of South African music including Miriam Makeba and Hugh Masekela. We speak about his growing up in Cape Town, his formative musical years playing in cover bands, the search for his own musical identity and the joy of playing his own music.  We also speak about collaboration and the creative process. Paul gives a great view on what it is like to work as a professional musician. This is a slightly longer episode as Paul plays one of his compositions at the end of our discussion.
