Manchester based jazz musician, composer and producer Matthew Halsall performs new material, deep covers and reworks from his luminous back catalogue.

Matthew Halsall has carved out a niche for himself as one of the UK’s brightest talents, with his languid, soulful records winning international acclaim. A gifted trumpeter and a key figure in the rise of the new jazz sound in the UK, Halsall’s music conjures rain streaked skies; drawing inspiration from the transcendental, spiritual-jazz of Alice Coltrane, Pharaoh Sanders and Miles Davis, merged with a blend of influences from contemporary electronica and dance music.

His latest record, Salute to the Sun is his first album as a leader since Into Forever (2015) and marks the debut of his new band.
