Mark Stryker Posted January 14, 2017 Report Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) Gang -- anybody got this: "The Roland Hanna Trio," recorded in 1975 for Salvation (CTI subsidiary)? Ron Carter and Ben Riley, presumably made at the time of the first New York Jazz Quartet record. Looks like this trio side came out on vinyl, distributed by King, but was never issued on CD. Would be grateful if anybody that does have it could make me a copy somehow. Failing that, tell me how good it is and whether I need to go to the end of the earth to hear it. Trying to put to bed my Roland Hanna chapter for my book and it's bugging me that I haven't been able to hear this one ... https://www.discogs.com/Roland-Hanna-Trio-Roland-Hanna-Trio/release/6179102 Coda: was Salvation an American or Japanese label. The wrapping in the LP pictured is Japanese but references I've seen say it's American -- or maybe Salvation records was the Japanese imprint of a U.S. label? Help, quicksand!

JSngry Posted January 14, 2017 Report Posted January 14, 2017 I have Airto & NYJQ records on Salvation. Looks to be all American to me, a CTI subsidiary, no Japanese names or licensing anything involved. https://www.discogs.com/label/840008-Salvation-4 Quote Salvation was created as a "gospel" subsidiary of the CTI Records label in 1972. It was initially devised to showcase the The B. C. & M. Choir, which released the album Hello Sunshine for the label in 1972. But Salvation Records really never took off on its own until the release of percussionist Airto Moreira's 1974 secular release, Virgin Land. Thereafter, Salvation's few releases during 1974-75 focused on jazz and R & B releases that did not feature Creed Taylor's production or engineer Rudy Van Gelder's assistance. Between 1975 and 1977, three Roland Hanna records were also issued by the label - but only in Japan. Taylor tried launching the label again in 1982 with The Power The Glory And The Music, a collection of previously-issued CTI music alluding to gospel themes, and once more in 1996 with Faith Howard and Visions' strong, but little known gospel CD, He's Got Everything.

All of Roland's meticulous structured compositions and he mostly alternates a solo piano "classical" track followed by a piano-bass "jazz" duet. Quote

Sir Roland was prolifically recorded in the Seventies; he made nearly 30 records as a leader or co-leader. I have most of them -- but I don't have that trio record issued on Salvation. Mark, if you track it down, I'd love to hear what you think of it. Edited February 3, 2017 by HutchFan Quote
