Nubya Garcia: Odyssey

One of the biggest names in UK jazz, Nubya Garcia, will be making her highly anticipated Australian return, performing a headline show in our stunning Front Garden.

London-born saxophonist, composer and bandleader Nubya Garcia brings a refreshing take on the genre – redefining what it means to be a jazz musician in the modern era. Garcia is the epitome of musical creativity, fusing elements of dub, R&B and classical styles together with her commanding tone and fierce compositions.

Nubya Garcia is set to release her highly anticipated sophomore album Odyssey on Friday 20 September (out via Concord Jazz, pre-order now). As the album title suggests, Odyssey is an ambitious, epic journey and features the singles ‘The Seer’, which reflects Garcia’s efforts to find clarity and catch a glimpse of the future, the music – with its ominous piano chords, stampeding drum break and blazing saxophone, charging forcefully to the unknown. Odyssey also includes the single ‘Clarity’, a song about wanting to find transparency during encounters with other people and Garcia communicates this thought uplifting, delicate, unfurling strings.

Witness the talent of this jazz titan as she debuts the Odyssey project live in Australia.
