Nat Birchall Quintet's Live in Larissa is a double-vinyl LP recorded in Greece last year, during two shows on the tiny stage of the Duende Jazz Bar in Larissa. A master of soprano and tenor saxophones Birchall, "has long been inspired by the music and spirituality of legendary jazziest John Coltrane."

The recording captures the band in inspired form in front of an appreciative live audience and features extended versions of songs from the World without Form and Sacred Dimension albums plus Bill Lee’s classic "John Coltrane" and Alice Coltrane’s immortal "Journey in Satchidananda."
