But at the heart of everything that he does Halsall is first and foremost an artist and a musician. A trumpeter whose unflashy, soulful playing radiates a thoughtful beauty and a composer and band-leader who has created his own rich sound world. A sound that draws on the heritage of British jazz, the spiritual jazz of Alice Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders, as well as world music and electronica influences, and even modern art and architecture, to create something uniquely his own. A music that is rooted in Northern England but draws on global inspirations.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eSalute to the Sun is his first album as a leader since Into Forever (2015) and marks the debut of his new band. A hand-picked ensemble featuring some of Manchester's finest young musicians: Matt Cliffe flute \u0026amp; saxophone, Maddie Herbert harp, Liviu Gheorghe piano, Alan Taylor drums and Jack McCarthy percussion as well as long-time Halsall collaborator, bassist, Gavin Barras who has been at the heart of Halsalls bands for over a decade. For Matthew it was important to have a band based locally and able, pre-Covid, to meet and play each week, and who also performed a sold-out monthly basement session at Yes in Manchester. The album draws energy from these sessions and inspiration from themes and ideas that have inspired Halsall's through the years (on albums such as Oneness, Fletcher Moss Park and When the World Was One) ideas of ecology, the environment and harmony with nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\"I feel Salute to the Sun is a positive earthy album. I wanted to create something playful but also quite primitive, earthy and organic that connected to the sounds in nature. I was listening to lush ambient field recordings of tropical environments such as jungles and rainforests and found myself drawn to percussive atmospheric sounds which replicated what I was hearing (bells \/ shakers \/ chimes \/ rain sticks) and I started to experiment with more wooden percussive instruments such as kalimba and marimba\".\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eSalute to the Sun opens with Harmony in Nature, a lush wholly improvised tune inspired by ambient rainforest and jungle field recordings. The first single, Joyful Spirits of the Universe, is a lush, soulful tune built around a hypnotic kalimba line and with flute and harp textures to the fore alongside Halsall's sublime trumpet playing. The transcendent Canopy \u0026amp; Stars is built around a rhythmical pattern featuring harp and kalimba and has an elevated feel and a beautiful melody plaintively expressed by Halsall's poignant playing and features fine work from Matt Cliffe on tenor. Mindfulness Meditations is a beautiful paean to the pleasures of meditation. Tropical Landscapes is inspired by the paintings of Henri Rousseau, Peter Doig and Paul Gauguin and their depictions of exotic paradises. The title track Salute to the Sun features a beautiful intro and solo from harpist Maddie Herbert and is a nod to Halsall's time studying at the Maharishi School. Every morning before classes they practiced Sun Salutations followed by transcendental meditation and the track references that memory. Pulsing with energy and drive, the album closes on an upbeat note, The Energy of Life foregrounds Halsall's life-affirming trumpet playing over a powerful percussion, bass and piano driven groove that is partly inspired by some of Halsall's favourite early 70s spiritual jazz recordings from the Black Jazz and Strata-East labels.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe album was recorded at the band's weekly sessions, using Halsall's own recording set-up, giving the recordings a relaxed vibe and unforced energy that really lets the music breath. The album is also very much a family affair as Halsall's brother Daniel Halsall, artistic director of Gondwana Records, was an important presence at the sessions and co-produced the album. It is also his memorable artwork that adorns the cover of Salute to the Sun, an album beautifully designed by legendary designer Ian Anderson of The Designers Republic, who also created the covers for the recent archival releases Oneness, Sending My Love and Colour Yes and is one of Halsall's favourite designers. Together Daniel Halsall and Ian Anderson have designed all of Matthew's seven albums to date, so it felt extra-special to bring them together for, Salute to the Sun, an album that Halsall was determined to present in the very best way possible. The album was mixed with another long-time collaborator, George Atkins at 80 Hertz in Manchester, who works tirelessly with Halsall to perfect the sound and was mastered by noted engineer Peter Beckmann who brings an added depth to the sound specially around the bass notes as well as Halsall's trumpet. The magnificent double vinyl was cut as a Half Speed master by Barry Grint at Alchemy Mastering for the best possible analogue experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is arguably Halsall's most beautiful and complete recording to date, playful, charming and imbued with the warmth of the sun and the energy of life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Matthew Halsall","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34454731063355,"sku":"631429","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0259\/9403\/5259\/files\/Matthew-Halsall-Salute-To-The-Sun_fcc60a17-9743-46bb-97f6-62ffb6a0691d.jpg?v=1733229127"},{"product_id":"floating-points-pharoah-sanders-the-london-symphony-orchestra-promises-coloured","title":"Pharoah Sanders, Floating Points \u0026 The London Symphony Orchestra - Promises (180 Gram LP)","description":"","brand":"Pharoah Sanders, Floating Points \u0026 The London Symphony Orchestra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34457116377147,"sku":"Y2021,O6 - 2023,B9 - 2023","price":31.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0259\/9403\/5259\/products\/FloatingPoints_PharoahSanders_TheLondonSymphonyOrchestra-Promises_1200x1200_ea1eaa53-097a-4eb0-9056-bdf158c3304e.jpg?v=1613615452"},{"product_id":"floating-points-pharoah-sanders-the-london-symphony-orchestra-promises","title":"Floating Points, Pharoah Sanders \u0026 The London Symphony Orchestra - Promises (LP)","description":"","brand":"Floating Points, Pharoah Sanders \u0026 The London Symphony Orchestra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39310034337851,"sku":"Q3 - 2022,O40 - 2022,B31 - 2023,B34 - 2023,B47 - 2023,B3 - 2024,B20 - 2024,B22 - 2024,B28 - 2024,B41 - 2024","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0259\/9403\/5259\/products\/unnamed_19_1024x1024_38336baf-1984-45b7-b869-2272daac83ec.jpg?v=1616764379"},{"product_id":"matthew-halsall-salute-to-the-sun-live-at-halle-st-peters","title":"Matthew Halsall - Salute to the Sun Live at Halle?

It is my hope and intention that this music provides healing to someone somewhere.\"\n\nOriginally from Washington DC area, Ford-Young moved to California in the early 90s and fell in love with the deep sounds of the upright bass and the music of Charles Mingus, John and Alice Coltrane, and Duke Ellington along with Bach, Chopin, Pärt, and Satie. He immersed himself deeply in music and keen to learn combinedintense personal study with collaborations, tours, and recordings with artists such as Tom Waits, Beats Antique, and John Vanderslice. In 2010 he moved from the San-Francisco Bay area to the Los Angeles hills and continued his explorations. But great music is rarely just about music and Ford-Young's meditative, soulful music draws on more than just the twin wellsprings of jazz and classical music:\n\n\"My mother was a yoga teacher from the early 70's until recently and taught me yoga and meditation at an early age, my stepfather is an Aikido instructor and student of the teachings of Gurdjieff.

Phi-Psonics has been a project that unapologetically synthesizes some of these ideas into our music\".\n\nIt's this mixture of influences, musical and extramusical, that gives the music of Phi-Psonics it's immersive quality and quiet power. Revealingly the music that would becomeThe Cradle, wasn't written specifically for an album, originally Ford-Young was just writing down what was coming through. As time went by and the album began to take shape, the world situation seemed to be getting darker and his compositions aim to offer hope as a response to the negative influences that abound today. Remarkably for such a beautiful sounding record, it was recorded at the composer's home, rather than in a studio, but the relaxed nature of this process gives the music an airy lightness that propels the music to some magical spaces.\n\nOriginally self-released on vinyl in a limited run just as the world went into lockdown, The Cradle reached Matthew Halsall (founder of Gondwana Records) when he aws looking for music for his Worldwide FM show and he was blown away, hearing a kindred spirit at work. Halsall explains:\n\n\"Phi-Psonics make beautiful, humble and honest music, it's not showy, but it has a deep vibe that will elevate your mind and soul if you let it. When we heard The Cradle we reached out and are really super delighted to welcome Seth and his band to our label\". Whereas for Ford Young: \"Connecting with Matthew and the Gondwana records family has been a light in the darkness of the last years - to have my music make connections even as we are more isolated.\"\n\nFord-Young is currently putting the finishing touches to the second Phi-Psonics record, but aware that only a select few had heard The Cradle, let alone had the chance to buy a copy, and entranced by its deceptive simplicity and elevating energy, Halsall suggested that Gondwana present the album as a remastered 'deluxe edition' with an extended running time featuring extra tracks and new artwork from Daniel Halsall.\n\nThe Cradle starts with First Step, perfectly setting the tone for the whole album, it is a beautiful, soulful slice of musical calm gently propelled by Ford-Young's resonant bass and elevated by sublime flute and Wurlitzer electric piano solos. The seductive title track The Cradle was written way back in 2011 during a time of great personal change that led the composer to a feeling of newness and nurture. The magical, winsome Desert Ride is inspired by many rides through the grandly cinematic Mojave Desert. You can experience how incredibly full of life it's harsh landscape is if you slow down to its tempo. The gentle, sublime Mama is a tribute to mothers of all kinds, beautiful and heroic. Drum Talk was largely improvised, Ford-Young and the band agreed on a topic and recorded their conversation. Choosing their notes based on how Josh's drums were tuned. Like Glass is named for the special properties of Glass. Like some music, glass is delicate, yet has structure. The first of the two bonus tracks Still Dancing was written during the early days of 2020 in response to the challenges we all were facing then.

And the second, The Searcher, also written as a response to 2020, is a gently hypnotic song about the introspection and growth that can spring from a difficult situation.\n\nThis then is The Cradle, a quiet self-contained masterpiece, life-affirming and elevating in equal measure and the first offering from a wonderful new voice in spiritual jazz and the latest members of the global Gondwana Records family.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gondwana Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40093267492923,"sku":"Q2 - 2022","price":32.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0259\/9403\/5259\/products\/a0034575680_10.jpg?v=1645976700"},{"product_id":"phi-psonics-the-cradle-deluxe-edition-clear-vinyl","title":"Phi-Psonics - The Cradle (Deluxe Edition) (Clear Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eGondwana Records sign LA bassist and composer Seth Ford-Young's Phi-Psonics project and announce a remastered deluxe-edition of The Cradle featuring bonus material\n\nPhi-Psonics is a meditative, immersive instrumental group from Los Angeles, led by bassist Seth Ford-Young and featuring Sylvain Carton on woodwinds, Mitchell Yoshida on electric piano, and Josh Collazo on drums.

Dark, mystical, lyrical and abstract, with its otherworldly shifting rhythms, Dilijans came off like a Haitian version of Bitches Brew.\nThe album sounds less like a stylish mini-jazz performing in a hotel dancehall than like a cry of ancestors emanating from the spirit world to lament over the complications of modern Haitian society.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Comet Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40526339080251,"sku":"","price":27.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0259\/9403\/5259\/products\/Ayizan-1.jpg?v=1657227853"},{"product_id":"lonnie-liston-smith-the-cosmic-echoes-renaissance","title":"Lonnie Liston Smith \u0026 The Cosmic Echoes - Renaissance","description":null,"brand":"Flying Dutchman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40714565222459,"sku":"Q3 - 2022","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0259\/9403\/5259\/products\/Renaiance.jpg?v=1661513866"},{"product_id":"nduduzo-makhathini-in-the-spirit-of-ntu","title":"Nduduzo Makhathini - In The Spirit Of Ntu","description":null,"brand":"Blue Note","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40755364954171,"sku":"W40 - 2022","price":41.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0259\/9403\/5259\/products\/0602445474523_front.jpg?v=1662567248"},{"product_id":"pyramids-birth-speed-merging","title":"Pyramids - Birth \/ Speed \/ Merging","description":null,"brand":"Strut Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40910732951611,"sku":"B45 - 2022","price":19.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0259\/9403\/5259\/products\/4062548038576_front.jpg?v=1666868164"},{"product_id":"pyramids-lalibela","title":"Pyramids - Lalibela","description":null,"brand":"Strut Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40910733017147,"sku":"O45 - 2022","price":19.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0259\/9403\/5259\/products\/4062548038552_front.jpg?v=1666868169"},{"product_id":"alice-coltrane-ptah-the-el-daoud","title":"Alice Coltrane - Ptah The El Daoud (LP)","description":"","brand":"Alice Coltrane","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40943536013371,"sku":"Q4 - 2022,W50 - 2022,W1 - 2023,W7 - 2023","price":36.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0259\/9403\/5259\/products\/0602445991372_front.jpg?v=1668054312"},{"product_id":"chip-wickham-cloud-10","title":"Chip Wickham - Cloud 10","description":"\u003cp\u003eChip Wickham is a jazz musician and producer who divides his time between Spain, UK and the Middle-East and who has made a name for himself with a series of beautifully crafted solo albums that draw equally on the hard swinging spiritual jazz of Roland Kirk, Yusef Lateef and Sahih Shihab, alongside the music of British jazz legends such as Tubby Hayes and Harold McNair and the more contemporary sounds of Jazzanova, Kyoto Jazz Massive and Robert Glasper.\n\nOriginally from Brighton, Chip studied in Manchester and became involved in the 00's UK jazz, soul. trip-hop and funk scenes, working with the likes of The Pharcyde, The New Mastersounds and Nightmares On Wax as well as playing with Matthew Halsall's Gondwana Orchestra.

Spiritual jazz master Kahil El’Zabar created new material for this album, in a powerful message to the world today, speaking about release, freedom, revelation and empowerment to Let the Spirit Out. Chicago legend El’Zabar began writing new material, alongside new arrangements for reimagined classics to be performed by the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble at “mu” London, an audiophile space for a healing, immersive experience. Leading the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble with Corey Wilkes (trumpet), Alex Harding (baritone sax) and Ishmael Ali (cello), the spiritual jazz shaman El’Zabar and his close collaborators delivered stunning performances over two unforgettable evenings that became a landmark experience—refined, healing, and transcendent—where improvisation and spirit merged, deepening the profound connection between artists and community. The album is a recorded ritual that sees the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble at their most powerful: raw, expansive, transcendent and deeply attuned to the healing energy of rhythm. The 2xLP black classic vinyl pressed at Optimal is to Spiritmuse Records’ high-quality and features stunning artwork by extraordinary artist Nep Sidhu. The release is further enriched by a dedicated microsite, sharing reflections and testimonials from artists and writers who witnessed these two extraordinary nights.
