FIRE

Metaphysics: The Lost Atlantic Album is an album by Hasaan Ibn Ali. His quartet recorded the material on it in 1965 for Atlantic Records, which chose not to release it after he was imprisoned for drugs possession. The master tapes were destroyed in a fire in 1978, and by the time of Ibn Ali's death two years later, his only released recording remained The Max Roach Trio Featuring the Legendary Hasaan from 1964. A tape copy of the 1965 sessions was long-rumored to exist and was located in 2017.
