This is indeed some amazing music, one of the most exciting releases I've heard in some time.   As far as influences, he also sometimes reminds me a bit of Herbie Nichols.  But Hasaan is certainly unique!

I wonder if Hasaan was aware of Nichols. Perhaps through Elmo Hope.

He was probably just listening to the internal and external energies of his everyday life. The best ones do.

Autely.

Any contacts at Omnivore Recordings that I can contact. Bought the LP, but the cardboard sleeve has a tear. The email form on the Omnivore Recordings website goes to an independent fulfillment center that is useless. No offer to provide a new jacket, just advice to return to the brick and mortar store where I purchased.

I had previous problems with cardboard gatefold covers with Resonance Records for a Record Store Day release, and they replaced it immediately..

Doubt the fulfillment center will contact Omnivore as they promised. It has been two weeks. No to take matters into my own hands.

Like the recording a lot. Just wish there was better quality control and that missing notion called customer service.

I would not at all be surprised if he knew of Nichols. I hear lots of Tatum here with his incredible right hand flourishes though very much his own sense of sonance.

In the liner notes a listening session in '72 is cited where Ali and a musician he was staying with listen to Nichols et al.
