A solid start to her major label career for saxophonist Nubya Garcia following EPs ‘Nubya’s 5ive’ and ‘When We Are’ with dub, calypso rhythms, hard bop and more finding a place on a sprawling collection. With Sam Jones, Daniel Casimir and Joe Armon-Jones as the core personnel and KOKOROKO’s Ms Maurice on trumpet and Ezra Collective’s Richie Seivwright accompanying on trombone also featuring as well as Cassie Kinoshi from Nérija, there is strong representation from the current generation of London jazz players to have made their mark in the last few years. Out now on Concord.
