Third release on his own label for a Manchester-based trumpeter who's being championed by broadcaster and tastemaker Gilles Peterson. Halsall's thing is a throwback to the bluesy modal jazz era of the 1960s though without the spirit of abandon that marked the best music of that era. That sounds like a putdown but the 27-year-old trumpeter is a product of his time. As with the Finnish Five Corners Quintet, Cinematic Orchestra and Italian DJ/producer Nicola Conte's ventures into retro acoustic jazz, Halsall's music has that deep, dark, hypnotic groove drawn from two dance decades that has refreshed this sub-genre in particular for new contemporary audiences. Alongside Coltrane acolytes: John in the case of saxophonist Nat Birchall and Alice in pianist Adam Fairhall's, all the way down to the graceful primitivism of its sound production, Halsall also captures something of Miles' smouldering score to Lift to the Scaffold on ‘Song For a Charlie’, and the sultry melancholy of Tomasz Stanko on Polish composer Krzysztof Komeda's early Roman Polanski scores on ‘Samatha’, that also features an unexpectedly un Alice Coltrane-like harp solo from Rachael Gladwin. While On The Go could be too nostalgic for the been-there-done-that types, its effectiveness in creating a genuine, atmospheric vibe will still find a wide appeal.
