National Health is the first album recorded by the progressive rock and jazz fusion group National Health, one of the last representatives of the artistically prolific Canterbury scene. Although it was created during the rise of Punk, the album is characterized by lengthy, elaborate and mostly instrumental compositions that combine Prog and Jazz elements.
