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 & clavinet
with a sheen of ambiance strings & three chord progression hook. In "Boogie
Song" the genre flips to retro dance blues Jack Hassall's blues roots are showcased
in "Au Revoir" & 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"
& "Hyanis Rain" with its open air feel; As are cuts like "Train To Nowhere"
with its subtle nuance & the airy breeze of "Mood Swing " The scenic & classic effect of the
electric guitar driven "Findaway" compliment cuts like "Day Trip" & its
melancholy pop-rock pocket sublime. The distant vista of tunes like "Steady
Eddie" contrast songs such as "Higher Baby" & its merging of R&B energy-urgency
To come full swing in this carousel
of musical colors & capacities we come upon brilliant cuts like "Why Can't
You" ; It's magnificent shimmering hook laden with cascades of ambiance
& synthesizer background awash in sly production & 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 & feeling.
This conveys the mastery & unique talent of an artistic British enigma
from Manchester ; A stones throw away from Liverpool & with all the muse
& scenery characteristic of the great artistic output & brilliance
of resident Jack Hassall Don't be fooled by mere words of praise.
Realize & experience Jack Hassall at the beginning of his invention, penetration
& insight not only into the fans & listeners hearts; But also to the rise
of a songsmith in all of his original ground breaking art to & for people
who love true inspiration |
