Matthew Halsall "Togetherness - The Best of Matthew Halsall" CD
★ Exclusively released on CD in Japan
This is a best album commemorating the long-awaited first visit to Japan by Matthew Halsall, the trumpeter/composer/producer who is leading modern spiritual jazz to new horizons and the founder of Gondwana Records, which has had a huge influence on the UK jazz scene since the 2000s!
This album contains selected songs from Gondwana's career spanning more than a decade, from their latest album "An Ever Changing View" (2023), which has been highly acclaimed not only in the UK but also in Japan, to their early masterpiece "Colour Yes" (2009). In addition, "Bright Sparkling Light" from the 12-inch, which was sold exclusively at last year's tour venue and immediately sold out and was re-pressed, is also included!
