American trumpeter, composer and author Jon Hassell was born on March 22, 1937 in Memphis, Tennessee. He passed away on June 26, 2021 in Los Angeles, California. Known as the creator of Fourth World music, a unique blend of ancient and digital sounds from both Eastern and Western traditions. After studying composition and earning degrees in the USA, he traveled to Europe to study electronic and serial music with Karlheinz Stockhausen. Back in New York, he collaborated with minimalist masters La Monte Young and Terry Riley before meeting Hindustani raga master Pandit Pran Nath. This encounter inspired him to develop a new trumpet sound and style.

Ndeya is a music label that represents the legendary artist Jon Hassell. With a focus on innovative and boundary-pushing music, Ndeya has established itself as a leading force in the industry. The label is known for its commitment to artistic integrity and its dedication to supporting unique and talented musicians.

Jon Hassell, the driving force behind Ndeya, is an acclaimed musician and composer who has made significant contributions to the world of experimental music. His distinctive blend of jazz, electronic, and world music influences has earned him critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base.

At Ndeya, we strive to provide our listeners with extraordinary musical experiences. Our roster includes a diverse range of artists who share Jon Hassell's passion for pushing boundaries and exploring new sonic territories. From avant-garde jazz to ambient soundscapes, each release from Ndeya offers something truly special.

First new album in nine years by a musical visionary and hugely influential figure in new music. Forty years since its creation, Jon Hassell's Fourth World aesthetic remains a powerful influence on modern electronic music. Continuing his lifelong exploration of the possibilities of recombination and musical gene-splicing, fragments of performance are sampled, looped, overdubbed and re-arranged into beguiling unexpected shapes. Hassell applies the painterly technique of ‘pentimento’ to the arrangements, teasing out texture by the overlaying of sound upon sound, or a carefully timed reveal of the delicate bones pinning the frame of a track together.
