Akhenaten All compositions by Nat Birchall Buy the albumHERE

 

“An album so exceptional it fell down the cracks of the Mojo filter...spatial sunship beauty...expansive and dreamy...lyrical heat haze hypnotism...this is the record you should be expanding the collective consciousness of the neighbours with. Truly transcendental.”

MOJO - Disc of the day 16/07/09

 

“Mindblowing work...a deeply spiritual player who comes off beautifully on this set..Birchall blows with a range of feeling that takes us back to the 70s best of Pharoah Sanders, Billy Harper and Clifford Jordan...hitting a groove that lets Birchall’s horn blossom wonderfully in sound - reaching forth with
rich tones that are simply wonderful....”

Dusty Groove America

 

“Akhenaten is a beautifully stately performance...from the gentle 3/4 of ”Nica’s Dance” to the closing “Many Blessings”

Brian Morton, The Wire Magazine

 

“Outstanding and most enthralling...Birchall is a wonderful player who wears his heart on his sleeve and plays with much warmth and sincerity”

4 stars - Tony Hall, Jazzwise Magazine.

 

“ A quite remarkable album, Birchall captures the hypnotic flow of John Coltrane wonderfully on four extended hymn-like explorations. Think of Coltrane’s stark masterpiece ”Alabama” or parts of “A Love
Supreme”.

Chris Yates, Jazz UK
