Nubya Garcia – Odyssey (2xLP) Concord Jazz

We are very excited to welcome this album to Loud & Clear!

For every artist who reaches immense heights early into their career, a second album brings much anticipation, and the exceptional tenor saxophonist Nubya Garcia’s Odyssey, is no exception.

Musicians of the calibre of Garcia and her band have been honing their craft forever, and like this double album’s name, all musically travel long and hard paths…

Garcia’s luscious orchestrations fuse jazz with d&b, Latin, r&b, dub and beyond, in thoughtful syncopations and intriguing harmonics that speak of journeying. So, relish the funky intro of ‘Set it Free’ …

On ‘Seer’ enjoy Garcia’s precision, locked in heavenly reverbs and echoes playing off Jones’ junglism and Armon-Jones’ keys in a free jazz blast.

Garcia will undoubtedly will receive even more accolades for Odyssey, an album for lovers of all manifestations of jazz excellence to collect and treasure.
A modern classic!
