Our Take

NAT BIRCHALL's "Song Of The Ancestors - Afro Trane Chapter 2" is a mesmerizing blend of spiritual jazz and Afrobeat rhythms that will transport you to another dimension faster than you can say 'Coltrane'. Birchall's saxophone skills are on full display here, weaving intricate melodies that dance around the hypnotic percussion like a wild serpent in the jungle.

The album kicks off with the title track, a cosmic journey through swirling sax solos and tribal drumming that will leave you feeling like you've just landed on another planet. And just when you think things couldn't get any groovier, Birchall hits you with "Divine Harmony", a funky number that will have you dancing around your living room like a deranged lunatic.

Birchall's ability to seamlessly blend traditional jazz elements with the infectious energy of Afrobeat is truly a sight to behold. Tracks like "Breath of Life" and "Return to Ithaca" are perfect examples of this marriage of sounds, creating a sonic landscape that is at once familiar and alien.

In conclusion, "Song Of The Ancestors - Afro Trane Chapter 2" is a triumph of musical fusion that will have you hitting repeat before you even realize it. Birchall's mastery of his craft is evident in every note, making this album a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast looking to expand their horizons. Trust me, you won't regret it.
