Dwight Trible: Inspirations (featuring Matthew Halsall)

by Phil Barnes
Having worked with the likes of the Pharoah Sanders Quartet and Kamasi Washington the musical fit between Los Angeles native Dwight Trible and Manchester's Gondwana records should be self- evident. This album was conceived as a combination of joint favourites and spiritual jazz classics chosen by Trible and Gondwana label boss Matthew Halsall, after a couple ...
Phil France: The Swimmer

by Phil Barnes
When did the future get postponed? Growing up in the 1970s and 1980s it felt as if innovations that might change and improve our lives beyond recognition were tantalisingly just around the corner.

Of course in a trio set up the contributions of each member are always discernible and the twist of substituting Jordan Smart's ...
Matthew Halsall: Matthew Halsall: On the Go (Special Edition)

by Phil Barnes
Slipping under the radar this low-key reissue of Matthew Halsall's classic 2011 album should not be ignored. Why so?

Matthew Halsall & the Gondwana Orchestra: Into Forever

by Phil Barnes
Some artists epitomise the times they live in, while others go their own way, standing apart from the herd, ploughing their own furrow. As the self-aggrandising, dishonest and downright greedy seem to gain ever greater prominence in our world, those whose work can provide a few moments of respite, refuge and reflection become more and more ...
