Album notes:
The spark for this project was the release of the newly discovered 1965 Hasaan recording Metaphysics (Omnivore, 2021). Upon hearing these beautiful compositions by Hasaan, I immediately felt the need to transcribe and understand them. For the recording I felt compelled to present them alongside pieces by Monk and Hope, who, like Hasaan, stood out for their brilliant—yet unorthodox—writing and their highly personal approach to playing the piano. The two elder pianists also had a close musical relationship and personal friendship, while the somewhat younger Hasaan was a great admirer of Hope.

I am fortunate to have a long history of playing with Nate McBride and Luther Gray in various formations—and with Nate in particular working extensively on Monk and Hasaan repertoire. Nate and Luther bring enormous sensitivity and insight to this project. I hope you enjoy the listen!
