Thursday 23th May 2019
Unfortunately due to illness (Virus + chest infection + difficulty breathing) I am not going to make this gig tomorrow at Jazz Cafe. Apologies to anyone who was going along to hear me play but I’m in no condition to do anything at all, let alone drive to London and play the saxophone. There’s plenty of excellent music going on still so make it down if you were thinking about it. Sorry once again but despite our best efforts sometimes the universe works against us.
Nat Birchall SOLO saxophone at Jazz Cafe, London

Nat Birchall Quintet – Leuven Jazz, Belgium
http://www.leuvenjazz.be/en/node/105
From the Leuven Jazz website:
DEEPER STILL – SPIRITUAL JAZZ
Spiritual jazz. If you’re wondering what that’s all about, you’re in luck. Two jazz bands and three jazz connoisseurs will give you a quick introduction… and demonstration!
During a delicious brunch concert, you’re treated to The Dree Peremans Quintet, led by the eponymous trombonist. They provide a spiritually-oriented set with new compositions.
Then there’s British artist Nat Birchall, a distinguished saxophonist from the contemporary UK jazz scene. At the jazz cafe you can bear witness to his own brand of spiritual jazz. He received unanimous praise by press and critics alike.
Jazz experts Marc Van den Hoof, Lander Lenaerts (a.k.a. Blast Kid, Laidback Radio) and Francis Gooding (Jazzman Records) introduce you to the history of spiritual jazz with music and text. Thank God for jazz!
with:
Dree Peremans Quintet: Frank Vaganée (sax), Dree Peremans (trombone), Ewout Pierreux (piano), Jos Machtel (bass) and Toni Vitacolonna (drums)
Nat Birchall Quintet: Nat Birchall (tenor/soprano sax, percussion), Adam Fairhall (piano), Corey Mwamba (vibraphone, percussion), Michael Bardon (bass) and Johnny Hunter (drums)
