Reedman Nat Birchall digs deep for this masterful set – creating timeless music that easily stands next to the work
of some
of his key ancestors in jazz – especially musicians
of the generation
of John Coltrane! The set is one that has Birchall layering his tenor, soprano, and baritone solos with other self-created
sounds – on piano, organ, balaphon, shruti box, bass, and other percussion – all with this slow-building, extremely spiritual quality that never lets up! The music feels much more like the work
of a cohesive jazz combo than it does a solo performance by one artist – and that's another testament to the ever-growing powers
of Nat, one
of our favorite forces in jazz for more than the past decade! Titles include "The Drum Thing", "Sun In Libra", "Song
Of The Ancestors, "Ogunde Uarerre", "Africa", and "One For The Son".
