Our Take

Ah, Nat Birchall, you cheeky chappy with a saxophone! Afro Trane is the embodiment of Birchall's jazz mastery, combining the spirit of Coltrane with the rhythms of Africa in a toe-tapping, head-bopping extravaganza.

From the moment you press play, you're transported to a smoky jazz club in the heart of London, surrounded by a crowd of hip cats grooving to the infectious beats. Birchall's saxophone skills are off the charts, as he effortlessly channels the spirit of Coltrane with his smooth, melodic lines.

The album kicks off with "Love in the Cosmos", a funky, uptempo track that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Birchall's band is tight and in-sync, with each member complementing the other perfectly. The rhythm section keeps things moving along with a pulsating energy, while Birchall's saxophone soars above it all like a bird in flight.

Standout tracks include the ethereal "Akhenaten", which showcases Birchall's more contemplative side, and the exuberant "Confinite", a vibrant, Latin-infused number that will have you dancing in your living room.

Overall, Afro Trane is a triumph of jazz fusion, blending the best of Coltrane with the rhythms of Africa to create a truly unique listening experience. Nat Birchall has once again proven himself to be a master of his craft, and this album is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
