Ladies & Gents.  A week and a half ago,  our scheduled Nov. 5th performers reluctantly cancelled their program.  Hostess Jackie Anderson instantaneously remembered that an Emerson Avenue Regular,  Alex Hassan,  had recently thrown his hat in,  for any November cancellations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SOOOOO, here he is, a male piano syncopator of his word!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The week & a half prep, says Alex, is just enough to prepare a program  featuring some of our faves from his past concerts.  You’ll hear Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Jerome Kern, Harry Warren, Stockhausen (jes’ kiddin’), an early talkie medley, and 3 of Alex’s own compositions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So drop everything this coming Sunday night, Nov. 5th, 7:30, and hit the button above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BIOGRAPHY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alex Hassan<\/strong> has been in total immersion 1920s\/30s Tin Pan Alley Popular Piano Styles therapy for over 40 years.  A pupil of a pupil of a pupil of a pupil of Franz Liszt (well\u2026it SOUNDS impressive?!), he has been a torchbearer for the melodies of between-the-wars Broadway and Hollywood (and European equivalents), devoting himself more specifically to collecting and resurrecting the great \u201clate Romantic with a beat\u201d popular songs that really never had a chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His archival collection of [mostly] popular piano solo and vocal sheet music numbers around 50,000 titles, entirely 1920s\/30s. It is a tribute to those heady musical times that there is still so much left to find.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alex has performed internationally at such venues as England\u2019s Aldeburgh Festival,  Husum (2007 & 2015\u2013\u201cPiano Rarities Festival\u201d), Washington DC\u2019s Kennedy Center, the Coolidge Auditorium (Library of Congress), various Manhattan\/Baltimore\/Washington night spots, and national ragtime festivals.  He has recorded prolifically for England\u2019s SHELLWOOD PRODUCTIONS,  Los Angeleno label OPERETTA ARCHIVES, and Pennsylvania\u2019s STOMP OFF, and has produced\/annotated several reissues of the virtuoso popular pianists of the 78RPM period, for both Shellwood and the Pittsburgh company, RIVERMONT (for which he has also recorded, along with two brilliant singing friends).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
