The album's a collaboration with producer Al Breadwinner - and has this approach that feels like a lost Jamaican instrumental session from the start of the 70s - as if Nat's playing the role of saxophonist Tommy McCook over some nicely laidback Kingston-styled rhythms! Birchall solos on tenor on most tracks, but also blows a bit of melodica too - and even handles a bit of organ and percussion too - all swept up in a dubby mix handled by Breadwinner, who contributes drums, guitars, and keyboards.
There's a bit of trumpet and trombone on the set too, plus baritone sax from Stally - and the quality of the record is excellent, every bit up to the range of the Jamaican legends listed as inspiration on the cover - a lineup that includes McCook, Lee Perry, Augustus Pablo, and Cedric Brooks.

]]> Tradition Disc In Dub – Meets Al Breadwinner https://wpguerssen-test.odoo.rgbconsulting.com/product/tradition-disc-in-dub-meets-al-breadwinner/ Mon, 24 Jul 2023 22:00:00 +0000 https://wpguerssen-test.odoo.rgbconsulting.com/product/tradition-disc-in-dub-meets-al-breadwinner/ A fantastic album in the new dub tradition that UK saxophonist Nat Birchall has been exploring - recorded modes that are very different than his spiritual jazz albums, but equally cool overall!
The vibe here is maybe like some lost date recorded at King Tubby's - but with more of a jazz element in the mix - as Birchall plays tenor and flute, plus piano, melodica, organ, bass, and percussion - all in this swirling mix that's created by Al Breadwinner - who's not only the producer and mixer, but adds in his own organ, drums, guitar, piano, melodica, and percussion!
The group are joined by Vin Gordon - whose trombone is an excellent balance in the sound - and David Fullwood adds in some trumpet lines too, which furthers the jazz elements in the overall sound.
