TARIK HASSAN

The first generation American son of an Irish mother and Palestinian father, Tarik Hassan' s original music is a mix of his experiences and influences.  He is able to draw on the music of these rich cultures as well as the musical traditions of America to create music that has a truly unique sound. In May 2020 Tarik Hassan will release Yalla!, his second album as a leader.  The album shows Tarik's evolution as a composer as well as a bassist and improviser.  It features nine new original compositions that explore the cross sections of several musical cultures while remaining rooted in jazz. The result is an exciting journey through a world without borders or barriers.  Accompaning him on this outing is a stellar group of musicians: drummers Fabio Augustinis and Michael Longoria, pianist Ben Irom, percussionist Noah Mosagofian, guitarist Brian Pardo, and violinist Kimberly Zielnicki. read more...
