Yes, so many great little shops no longer, at least Dub Vendor albeit mail order are still active, Supertone in Brixton, the legendary Peckings Shepards Bush, Honest Jon’s still has a physical shop in Ladbroke Grove I think…

DJ from New Zealand, Italian Drummer, recorded in Brooklyn NY. Maybe not London or UK Jazz, but looks interesting and I’m surprised to see put out by Jazz Re:Freshed an indication perhaps that their casting their net wider.
Several albums listed on Bandcamp, I will definitely check this out, cheers 
Mid-2012, Mark de Clive Lowe got in touch with us and said we really needed to check out this Italian drummer he was playing with, out in Italy. His name was Tommaso Cappellato. We were immediately intrigued, however we certainly were not expecting what we heard.
Eager to know more, we made the connection and were stunned to hear the story of how, whilst living in New York, Tommaso was taken under the wing of the legendary Harry Whitaker.
Yes, THAT Harry Whitaker, of ‘Black Renaissance’ fame.
Tommaso and his sublime outfit Astral Travel, have created a musical work with depth and texture, that takes you on a journey out of this world. COSM’ETHIC is a thoughtfully constructed dedication to the late Harry Whitaker, steeped in the sensibilities of deep spiritual jazz, yet futuristic and fresh in its execution. Suffice to say, we jumped at the chance to put out this album and let you share in Tommaso & Astral Travel’s fine musical tribute.
Enjoy.

I found that album apart from all the Tomaso discography. It sounds like a good jazz fusion album from the 70’s but his modern work and a lot of creativity and spirit.
As you said it’s not a uk group but very similar in the spirit of jazz refreshed.
Of course as it’s pointed, the main influence are Roy Ayers Ubiquity and Black Renaissance, albums that I like very much too.

Not contemporary and not so much cutting edge as cold classic but it’s British and it’s Jazz Matthew Halsall and the excellent Nat Birchall on Saxophone.

Yes I’d love a copy but don’t have a CDP and vinyl copies long sold out.
But streaming is fine for now.

I will try it again, but at the last time it didn’t show me that
Being a lover of Jamaican Music I draw attention to Nat Birchall’s homage to vintage dub Reggae. Recorded with Al Breadwinner on vintage Analogue gear at his Bakery Studio in Manchester

Also
Nat Bitchall Meets Al Breadwinner - Upright Living (Tradition Disc)

The above also feature the great JA Trombonist Vin Gordon alongside Dave Fullwod on Trumpet.
There is an excellent Vin Gordon album
African Shores featuring Nat Birchall & Al Breadwinner which I really enjoy

Like this, it will show the shipping price, select country, before you pay
In this case it shows United States shipping as default, click on United States highlighted in blue and you will get options to change country
