Manchester-based multi-instrumentalist Nat Birchall, who’s mostly made a name for himself as a saxophonist among the UK jazz scene, continues his explorations into the sounds of Jamaica with another superb instrumental roots reggae-influence album, titled Dimension of the Drums.

This 6-track 36-plus minute recording was inspired by the music coming out of Jamaica in the mid 1970s, in particular the use of drum machines by Lee Perry and Aston Family Man Barrett, as well as the instrumentals and dubs by Keith Hudson and Cedric “Im” Brooks & Count Ossie and others.

Even though Birchall has teamed up on a few reggae-inspired recordings with legendary dub producer Al Breadwinner, and Jamaican trombonist great Vin Gordon, this represents his first solo outing diving into this sound. Much like many of his most recent releases, Birchall impressively also plays all the instruments on the session.

With Dimension of the Drums, Birchall continues to show his diversity as a musician and celebrate a genre of music that has played a major influence on him throughout his life.
