Jon Hassell - Delta Rain Dream. Jon Hassell - Griot Over Contagious Magic. Jon Hassell - Ba-Benzélé. Jon Hassell - Rising Thermal 14 16' N 32 28' E. Jon Hassell - Charm Over Burundi Cloud. Total votes: 14. Other albums by Brian Eno. This album adds only Eno's characteristic production touches, like the reversed echo that adds a ghostly, unreal edge to Hassell's trumpet solos on the side-long Charm Over Burundi Cloud. The rest of the album, including the African hand drummers on the hypnotic Delta Rain Dream and the swirling, almost speech-like solos of Griot, is pure Hassell.

The composer, improviser, and trumpet player Jon Hassell, now 77, created Fourth World, Vol. 1: Possible Musics in 1980 in collaboration with producer Brian Eno. Melding minimalism, jazz, and ambient sounds, it is eerie, dreamlike, and otherworldly music. The title Fourth World, Vol. 1: Possible Musics has a brainy and academic ring to it, but according to Jon Hassell, the record is at least 50 body music. The basic metaphor is that of the north and south of a person is a projection of the north and south of the globe, the composer, improviser, and trumpet player, now 77, explaine.

Joining trumpeter Jon Hassell in different combinations on Possible Musics are coproducer and synthesist Brian Eno and percussionists Nana Vasconcelos and Ayibe Dieng, among others. Hassell has found a unique way to summon a lush, otherworldly sound from his trumpet, applying the Indian vocal techniques he learned from Pandit Pran Nath to the way he plays his instrument. Fourth World Vol 1 where are the others treads a line between jazz, ambent and eastern devotional music, finding its own niche in the course of listening. Definitely more a Hassell album than an Eno album
