Manchester based, DJ, bandleader and trumpeter Matthew Halsall is one of the UK's brightest talents. A gifted trumpeter with a beautiful, expressive tone, whose unique sound was brilliantly described as "Rain-streaked spiritual jazz from Manchester" by the Independent On Sunday. His music draws on his love of the transcendental, spiritual and modal jazz of Alice and John Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders, as well as the glories of '60s British jazz. His albums 'Sending My Love', 'Colour Yes' and 'On The Go' have won him a legion of fans across the world and acclaim from the likes of Gilles Peterson, Jamie Cullum, Mr Scruff, Radio 3's Late Junction, MOJO, BBC Music Magazine and even BBC 6 Music. His new album 'Fletcher Moss Park' was released on Gondwana Records on Monday 15th October 2012.
