Matthew Halsall Band

Cool school jazz from this charismatic Mancunian trumpeter here performing songs from his new album, 'On The Go'. Taking inspiration from Miles Davis' acclaimed Louis Malle film score for 'Lift to the Scaffold' Halsall's sparse yet warm sound combines lyrical melodies and spacious grooves to atmospheric effect. Helped further by a band that features harpist Rachel Gladwin and Coltrane-ish saxophonist Nat Birchall.
