In 1986, Hanah co-led an avant-garde jazz ensemble to perform at the 2nd Annual Peoples’ International Music Festival in Havana, Cuba. With the passing of both McCall and Garrett, Everyday Heroes re-emerged in 1987 with pianist Calvin Coco Brunson, bassist Cecile Savage, and percussionist Toby Williams.
