A new release of the pianist and composer Hassan Ibn Ali’s privately recorded performances from the 1960s reveals his overwhelming power and mighty virtuosity, tnyfrontrow writes.
The pianist and composer Hasaan Ibn Ali is an unduly elusive presence in the history of. His first album, with a trio, was released in 1965; his second, with a quartet, recorded later that year, wasn’t released until early in 2021. Both showed him to be a distinctive and original musician, but what they offered, above all, was the sound of possibility, of unfulfilled potential.
What’s most miraculous about the preservation of Hasaan’s solo performances and the survival of the tapes is the artistry displayed in the performances themselves. The astonishments of the new album begin with the very first notes of the first track, the standard “Falling In Love With Love,” which Hasaan begins with a jaunty, tango-like bass riff that recurs throughout like a one-hand big-band accompaniment.
