Sending My Love

Halsall's trumpet lines on this record are patient and lyrical, sitting over arrangements that draw from Alice Coltrane's harp-and-bass vocabulary without sounding derivative. There's a reverence in the pacing that makes it feel genuinely meditative rather than merely ambient. Released on Gondwana Records, which was quietly building one of the more interesting small jazz catalogs in the UK at the time.
