Description
The Max Roach Trio Featuring the Legendary Hasaan is an album by American jazz drummer Max Roach with pianist Hasaan Ibn Ali, recorded in 1964 and released 1965.
This is a classic of its kind and it is fortunate that it was made, but it is a tragedy that Hasaan would not record again and that he would soon sink back into obscurity. This is the only record where you can hear pianist Hasaan.
We owe Max Roach this miraculous session where we can discover new pianistic sounds that lay somewhere between Art Tatum and Thelonious Monk, soon wishing we had a whole discography of this to explore. Making this is a rare gem. But beyond the historic nature of the session comes the music and for that the word “legendary energetic” seems more appropriate.
This album is available as a limited edition of 750 individually numbered copies on green vinyl.
