Nubya Garcia releases 'SOURCE'
Jazz FM Award-winning saxophonist Nubya Garcia has released 'SOURCE' - her debut album
Last updated 21st Aug 2020
Today, Jazz FM Award-winning saxophonist Nubya Garcia has released her debut album - Source.
The much anticipated album, released today via Concord Jazz, is produced by Garcia alongside the celebrated producer Kwes (Nerija, Bobby Womack, Solange). The album will feature the much celebrated keyboardist Joe Armon-Jones (who is a Jazz FM Awards 2020 nominee), Sam Jones on drums as well as Daniel Casimir on bass.
SOURCE also features guest appearances from KOKOROKO, La Perla, Ms MAURICE and Akenya.
SOURCE is a deeply personal offering in which Garcia maps cartographies around the coordinate points of her identity, her family histories, grief, afro-diasporic connections and collectivism. It's about a realisation of personal and collective power: the evolution of the saxophonist’s values as she re-connects with herself, her roots and her community. Garcia digs deep to present an album with a global outlook: from London to Bogota, Caura to Georgetown, it's a record drawing inspiration from the many places Garcia calls home.
Hear Nubya talking to Anne Frankenstein talking about her lead single from the album, 'Pace'.
