Matthew Halsall
Manchester based jazz musician, composer, producer and Gondwana Records boss Matthew Halsall has carved out a niche for himself as one of the UK’s brightest jazz talents, with his languid, soulful records winning international acclaim and seeing him headline prestigious venues like The Royal Albert Hall.
A gifted trumpeter and a key figure in the rise of the new jazz sound in the UK, Halsall’s music conjures Manchester's rain streaked skies; drawing inspiration from the transcendental, spiritual-jazz of Alice Coltrane, Pharaoh Sanders and Miles Davis, merged with a blend of influences from contemporary electronica and dance music sounds of Bonobo and The Cinematic Orchestra.
Expect spiritual, progressive, perfectly crafted, mediative jazz sounds for the 21st century which have been described by Time Out as "'Kind of Blue' meets The Cinematic Orchestra …"
"If I could watch any jazz band in the UK, any, I would choose Matthew Halsall's band, just love what he's been doing over the last few years... It's always high level, spiritual jazz music" - Gilles Peterson BBC Radio 1.
