Jon Hassell – Last night the moon came dropping its clothes in the street

Released: 05/04/2009 ECM
The trumpeter’s first release on the ECM label in 25 years is an ethereal, filmic set that sees his self-described ‘fourth world’ genre of transcendental jazz provide a mystical portal to another dimension. Or something. Its rather lewd title comes from a Jalaluddin Rumi poem.

BBC“Offers up an impeccable soundworld...” Last Night The Moon... offers up an impeccable soundworld which gradually reveals a sense of deeply meditative interaction from a group of individuals listening intently to one another. The music repays similar attention from the listener...
