With five albums already under his belt\, his languid\, soulful and deeply expressive playing has won him a legion of fans with critical praise from everyone from Jamie Cullum and Gilles Peterson to Jazz FM\, Mojo Magazine\, The Guardian\, BBC6 Music and many more. His last album \;When The World Was One \;was the iTunes jazz album of the year 2014. Always pushing boundaries\, Halsall&rsquo\;s music blends his love of the modal jazz of John and Alice Coltrane and Eastern music with evocative\, rain-streaked visions from his hometown of Manchester. The result is a sublime spiritual jazz all of his own. His latest album \;Into Forever\, takes the Halsall sound still further\, influenced by contemporary electronica and the classic Cadet recordings of Dorothy \;Ashby and psychedelic soul arrangements of Charles Stepney (Rotary Connection\, Minnie Ripperton\, Terry Callier). Performing material from the new album alongside highlights from his back catalogue\, tonight&rsquo\;s show promises to be \;an \;evening of wonderful music in the company of some of the UK&rsquo\;s finest musicians. \;Advance booking strongly advised. &ldquo\;Unreservedly recommended&rsquo\; \;All About Jazz &ldquo\;Trumpeter Halsall is one of the success stories of new British jazz&rdquo\; \;The Independent On Sunday &ldquo\;Halsall&rsquo\;s trumpet sound is pure and his phrasing graceful&rdquo\; \;The Guardian A Music Net Tour Presented by Band on the Wall & Root Music SUMMARY:Matthew Halsall and The Gondwana Orchestra - Into Forever “'Kind Of Blue' meets The Cinematic Orchestra…saturated in a life-affirming glow ”.
