Matthew Halsall - Salute To The Sun

Matthew Halsall – Salute To The Sun
Gondwana Records (GONDLP039STD)

Trumpet-led spiritual jazz with warm percussion, harp and woodwind shaping a grounded, natural sound.

Halsall’s 2020 studio album introduces a new Manchester-based ensemble, recorded in relaxed live sessions that highlight his clear trumpet lines, hand percussion and light woodwind textures. The music leans into rhythmic patterns shaped by kalimba, marimba and subtle atmospheric detail.

The compositions draw from spiritual jazz and nature-focused influences, with harp, flute and steady rhythm work giving the record its grounded character. It’s one of Halsall’s most focused statements on Gondwana, offering a calm, organic sound built around ensemble interplay.
