Jon Hassell (born March 22, 1937) is an American trumpet player and composer active since the 1960s. He is best known for developing the musical concept known as "Fourth World," which unifies ideas from minimalism, various world music sources, and his electronic manipulation of the trumpet. His work with Nath awoke his appetite for traditional musics of the world, and on the album Vernal Equinox, he used his trumpet (treated with various electronic effects) to imitate the vocal techniques to which Nath had exposed him. He stated: "From 1973 up until then I was totally immersed in playing raga on the trumpet. The Surgeon of the Nightsky Restores Dead Things by the Power of Sound (1987). Flash of the Spirit (1988) (with Farafina). City: Works of Fiction (1990).

Although Mr. Hassell seldom plays live anymore for anyone, this album is the next best thing. he was doing this stuff long before Miles was. Please imbibe in such musical wonderment. And Hassel's generous expression of these things reveals beauty that often wouldn't be recognized as such. My good friend calls the music "broken" (not as a compliment). And it is in a way a celebration of the beauty of many things; some of which are, in fact, broken. 5 people found this helpful.

Surgeon of the Nightsky is considerably more ambient and less rhythmically animated than its predecessor. Each of the five tracks is named after a city, a theme Hassell would further explore in the subsequent City: Works of Fiction. The tracks of Surgeon of the Nightsky melt seamlessly into one another, forming an unbroken arc that spans the entire album. The opening "Ravinia/Vancouver" is a two-part form.
