Any fans here of Manc saxophonist Nat Birchall? I heard him in a record shop last week, immediately bought the disc off the turntable, and have been listening to his wider catalogue ever since. Especially recommended LPs (so far): Akhenaten and Invocations. He very much channels Coltrane, but in a good way, and the bass lines are mesmerising.
[Apologies if he's already been linked to on here - the search engine threw up nothing.]

I haven't yet posted anything by Nat Birchall, imp, although he would have been namechecked on a track by Matthew Halsall and the Gondwana Orchestra that I posted quite a while back. It doesn't show up on the Search function though (which I've always found a bit hit and miss).
If you haven't listened to it already, check out the Tony Burkill track a few posts upthread. I think you would like it.

Our recent holiday was spent driving around listening to a big Chant Du Monde box set, The History Of Piano Jazz, which I picked up several years ago. All of it was delightful, but listening to it all, there were moments which just felt transcendent, where the player had elevated to a level of pure thought and speed and play. That’s what it felt like, anyway, and I emerged with a newfound love for some of the piano music of that era which could be formal in certain respects but as free as any music in others.
Here’s some highlights to share, avoiding Joplin, Ellington and some of the other better known players.
