Nat Birchall charts new paths toward spiritual communion, connecting jazz with classical Indian influences guided by the wistful flow of the harmonium. Cosmic Language sees the UK-based saxophonist, composer, and arranger return to Jazzman Records with a cross-cultural approach: an exploration of the parallel musical paths of jazz and Indian ragas. Here he takes influence from spiritual jazz forebears such as Alice Coltrane and Yusef Lateef and introduces the Indian harmonium to his band, where it takes the place of the piano. Making new connections to realize his transcendental ambitions, it's a logical next step in making music as spiritual cleanser. The idea for the album was spawned from a one-off performance at a meditation center, the Maharishi Golden Dome in West Lancashire. Seeking to bring a band set-up that was fitting to the quiet-minded setting, Birchall brought the harmonium with him. A small pump organ, it's an instrument he'd been in possession of for many years but hadn't previously used in his music. Building on the spiritual context of that show, and the associations of that instrument, it led naturally to the musical approach undertaken on the album. Both the album and the show which preceded it were recorded with the same tight-knit group of players which have featured on Birchall's previous albums. All members of the group are part of the same like-minded circle of Manchester-oriented jazz musicians. Birchall has always channeled wide-ranging ideas into music that's simple to understand, and this album is no exception. Album opener "Man From Varanasi" is an ode to Bismillah Khan, one of Birchall's heroes of Indian music who hailed from the northern Indian city named in the title. It also sees him taking cues from the Indian raga tradition which, as with most other traditional Indian music, is a foundation which underpinned Khan's music. Crucially, the ragas tap into the idea of music as a means of spiritual release. Birchall sees spiritual experience as an essential part of day-to-day life: instead of brightly-lit, occasional entertainment in lugubrious concert halls, he considers it an everyday, vital source of inspiration. At a moment where jazz-influenced music is undergoing creative renewal and wider appreciation, it's an important perspective that's found resonance elsewhere.

Great gift
It’s really hard to find a wallet with a mesh ID window. This one looks great and fits very well in the back pocket.

Herschel is seriously the Best!
Color: Black Tonal
Got this for my teenage son & it was the perfect size for him. He didn’t want a bulky wallet, just something simple to carry his school ID, cash and his debit card. Herschel has amazing quality products, definitely can’t go wrong with them! Worth the price for sure :)

Nice and thin
Color: Black Tonal
Slim wallet. Made for a minimalist type of person. Ideally for only about five cards and some cash anything more the wallet will start to bulge.

Minimal and Magnificent
Color: Black Tonal
I've had more than a few front pocket wallets, and this one is up at the top. It's sturdy even though it's thin, and the stitching is even. Card retention is great with room for 1-2 cards per pocket, as well as room for a few bills to fit comfortably in the middle pocket. Probably going to buy another as a backup.
