5.0 out of 5 stars piano genius, October 27, 2004

This review is from: Legendary Hasaan / Drums Unlimited (Audio CD)

These two lps came out in the mid-60s. The one featuring Haasan, the pianist from Philly, is extraordinary. This CD release omits one tune (Hope so, Elmo)dedicated to another piano genius, Elmo Hope. Max's playing is very exciting on both these albums, but the session with Haasan is the standout. I've always wished that he had been recorded again, but this seems to have been it. Supposedly, Haasan recorded another album for Atlantic, with a different rhythm section, but so far it has never been released, or maybe it never happened. The quintet session is good, especially the solo drum tracks.

Legendary Hasaan / Drums Unlimited,

Two fantastic great albums, and the only recording of the Great Hassan Ibn Ali...
Pianist Hassan Ibn Ali only made one recording in his life, this trio set with drummer Max Roach and bassist Art Davis.
Kenny Dorham alerted Max Roach that Hassan was in New York, and here we have a great documented recording of his playing...
Drums Unlimited is a jewel, Max Roach at his best, great innovative ideas, pioneer of mixed meeter tunes and unaccompanied drum set tunes,
The band's sound; Max Roach, James Spaullding, Freddie Hubbard, Ronnie Mathews and Jimmy Merrit, is a classic of what progressive Jazz ensembles sound like,
I'll buy this album just to hear Jimmy Merrit's NOMMO....
This two CDs are a must for serious Jazz collectors and great educational tools for Jazz Musicians of today..
Max Roach Drums Unlimited and The Max Roach Trio Featuring The Legendary Hassan, are two of the great recording sessions ever produced...

THE FOLLOWING IS IN CAPITAL LETTER'S. BECAUSE MOST OF THE TIME I USE THEM, BECAUSE I'M LAZY. THIS PERSON VOTES AGAINST MY REVIEW'S BECAUSE OF THAT. THIS PERSON SHOULD VOTE HONESTLY. IN SOME REVIEW'S I SEE MISPELLINGS,
ALL SMALL CASE LETTER'S ETC., I'M INTERESTED IN THEIR OPINION OF THE ARTIST THEIR REVIEWING, WHICH IS THE POINT OF ANY REVIEW. TAKE A LOOK AT THE COMMENT SECTION AND YOU'LL SEE WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, AND WHAT DATE AND TIME OF THE DAY IT WAS. 1978 MAX ROACH WAS INTERVIEWED ON THE LEGENDARY JAZZ STATION KJAZ.AND PLAYED ABOUT 2 OR 3 TRACKS, COMPOSED BY PIANIST HASAAN . IF YOU'RE A FAN OF THE OTHER LEGENDARY PIANIST'S;ELMO HOPE,STAN TRACY,JOHNNY WILLIAMS,EDDIE COSTA, CECIL TAYLOR
AND HERBIE NICHOLS,FREDDIE GAMBREL, YOU WILL BE PLEASED WITH THE LEGENDARY HASAAN!!! MAX ROACH SAID HE HAS
MORE HOME RECORDINGS OF HASAAN . I HOPE THE ROACH ESTATE WILL RELEASE THEM FOR SALE.
HIS PART OF THIS CD IS WORTH THE PRICE ALONE. THE OTHER HALF OF THE CD FEATURES FREDDIE HUBBARD,
JAMES SPAULDING, RONNIE MATHEWS,JAMIE MARRITT AND THE GREAT DRUMMING OF MR. ROACH. ON BOTH
ALBUMS ON THIS CD ,MOST OF THE COMPOSITIONS ARE ORIGINALS. WE WANT MORE HASAAN IN THE NEAR
FUTURE!!! HASAAN IS THE REAL DEAL!!! Have a good day,and be nice to each other.
