Hope your having/had a great birthday
I'm super surprised that I haven't seen more discussions or reviews etc about the Hasaan Ibn Ali. It's a stunning set and the ' Max Roach Trio Featuring The Legendary Hasaan' is generally considered to be a fantastic album, so I would have thought this recently discovered music would have been really well received/sought after.
I hadn't heard about it until about two weeks ago when you posted yours. Fortunately JPC had it in stock. Still need to get the Max Roach album but the Speakers Corner release is sold out everywhere awaiting repress.I'm super surprised that I haven't seen more discussions or reviews etc about the Hasaan Ibn Ali.

I just checked to see what my copy of the Max Roach was and its the VMP pressing, I had totally forgotten that they even released it.I hadn't heard about it until about two weeks ago when you posted yours.

It's your fault I wound up with it too. And I'm grateful. It's dynamite, truly.I just checked to see what my copy of the Max Roach was and its the VMP pressing, I had totally forgotten that they even released it.
You should enjoy Metaphysics, some fantastic playing on there.
