Artist picture
Jack Hassall is an independent unsigned guitarist/composer from Manchester, England.
Jack Hassall is the craftsman of eclectic persona strumming down the cosmic road of digital reverberation and subtle ambiance. His shimmering cascades of audio light reflect a pastel of rainbows. The sonic beauty and creative gleam of a master craftsman of music, mood and nuance. Jack Hassall's work reflects a multitude of influences that are fused into something that careens under the surface of an enormous deep dark green-blue ocean whilst gazing simultaneously at the pale blue lilac sky. Tunes like 'Fanfare' pulsate electronic groove with horn accents; 'E-thang' segues into counterpoint bass and clavinet with a sheen of ambiance strings and three chord progression hook. In 'Boogie Song' the genre flips to retro dance blues. Jack Hassall's blues roots are showcased in 'Au Revoir' and his acoustic guitar balladry coupled with female soul vox melodies minus lyrics. The harmonica singed FX laden track 'Blue Suede Shoes' is a dreamscape heavy dance beat of delays; The slide guitar majesty of 'Stella Blues' shines with reverberated expression. Jack Hassall is equally enthralling in a smooth jazz fusion mode via songs such as 'Taxi Dance Revisited' and 'Hyanis Rain' with its open air feel; As are cuts like 'Train To Nowhere' with its subtle nuance and the airy breeze of 'Mood Swing'. The scenic and classic effect of the electric guitar driven 'Findaway' compliment cuts like 'Day Trip' and its melancholy pop-rock pocket sublime. The distant vista of tunes like 'Steady Eddie' contrast songs such as 'Higher Baby' and its merging of R&B energy-urgency. To come full swing in this carousel of musical colors and capacities we come upon brilliant cuts like 'Why Can't You' ; It's magnificent shimmering hook laden with cascades of ambiance and synthesizer background awash in sly production and mix down digital delay/reverb as to be surmised as a pop/rock gem of inflection reflected aura-sonic. Again witnessed in 'Sweet Sweet Love' we find a moody string with atmospheric effulgence, radiating outwards from the listeners senses to the innermost area of emotion and feeling. This conveys the mastery and unique talent of an artistic British enigma from Manchester; A stones throw away from Liverpool and with all the muse and scenery characteristic of the great artistic output and brilliance of resident Jack Hassall. Don't be fooled by mere words of praise. Realize and experience Jack Hassall at the beginning of his invention, penetration and insight not only into the fans and listeners hearts; But also to the rise of a songsmith in all of his original ground breaking art to and for people who love true inspiration.

Story behind the song
This song made it to number #2 in the now defunct MP3.com UK Jazz Fusion chart in January 2002. I'm flattered that this tune ended up high in the UK "Jazz Fusion" chart. The standard of musicanship in this genre is absolutely awesome and I'm flattered to be included among such creative and talented people. ... here's yet another one from the so-called vaults - probably written around 1985-86 (I can't remember!) ... on one of those home keyboards - you know - you press the demo key or something and it starts playing a waltz! I got it set up so that I had the bass auto-accompniment on the left hand and Jack's patented "three finger piano" chords did the rest. That's where this one came from! This is actually a pretty complex piece (harmonically) - unless you're a jazzer/muso and understand these things. I've always liked the tune and had always wanted to try and do an improved version. The original demo was interesting but ... The guitar breaks, I'm pretty pleased with, even though I say it myself. However, I don't class myself as a jazz guitar player at all. I'm originally a blues guitarist but I've been exposed to absolutely loads of jazz - which of course, I love - but I'm not a jazz guitar player like the absolutely brilliant Martin Taylor, for example. Anyway, this is the tune, hope you like it!!! God bless Tal Farlow.
