Matthew Halsall & The Gondwana Orchestra - When The World Was One

Matthew Halsall & The Gondwana Orchestra – When The World Was One
Gondwana Records (GONDLP010BIO)

Spiritual and UK modern jazz from Matthew Halsall, arranged for larger ensemble with harp, flute and a clear rhythmic focus.

This edition brings Halsall’s expanded group into the studio, combining trumpet, rhythm section and Eastern-leaning instrumentation to shape a calm, spacious sound. The ensemble moves through steady patterns built around bass, percussion and light electronic touches.

The writing reflects Halsall’s interest in modal jazz and UK spiritual jazz, with koto, harp and bansuri adding a distinctive tone across the set. Recorded at 80 Hertz in Manchester, it remains one of the key Gondwana Orchestra releases.
