Jon Hassell, an American composer and trumpet virtuoso, has spent decades exploring the intersection of contemporary jazz, electronic music, and world music traditions. This 1987 Intuition Records release showcases his most adventurous work—his distinctive trumpet sound processed and layered with synthesizers, ethnic instruments, and studio effects creating something truly ethereal and cinematic. The mood is often cosmic and dreamlike, ambient in texture but rooted in jazz sophistication. Hassell's production philosophy means nothing sounds quite natural; everything is processed through his vision of how music should sound. This is rare original-pressing material documenting an artist at peak creativity and influence. For those interested in electronic music, jazz innovation, or boundary-pushing composition, this is absolutely essential.
