HAPPY 70th BIRTHDAY JON HASSELL!

An unsung hero of techno-tribal music enters his 8th decade still blowing

Trumpeter Jon Hassell's music roots go back to Karlheinz Stockhausen, Lamonte Young's Theatre of Eternal Music and playing on the first recording of Terry Riley's In C. He created the sound of Techno-Tribal music that was brought to popularity in collaborations with Brian Eno, and his distinctive trumpet sound has been adopted by musicians like Mark Isham. On Echoes, we look back on a musician who is still pushing the sonic envelope as he celebrates his 70th birthday on March 22nd.


JON HASSELL:
IMPROVISATIONS IN INTUITION

Jon Hassell is a seminal figure in contemporary music. A student of Karlheinz Stockhausen and a musician in LaMonte Young's Theatre of Eternal Music, he has roots in mid-20th century experimentalism and minimalism. On his own, he's crafted a fourth world music that has embraced rhythms from Africa to Bali, all sliced through with modern technology, dub grooves, ambient atmospheres and his own vapor trail trumpet lines. He's been an influence on Brian Eno, Steve Roach, Robert Rich and hundreds of other musicians. In an LA studio where he was mixing his 2005 album, Jon Hassell talked about his hallucinatory swirl of seductive rhythms and soul-searing trumpet called Maarifa Street.
