Don't miss the award-winning saxophonist and composer Nubya Garcia's debut 2LP Gatefold album, SOURCE, available for preorder at an exceptional price.
Released via Concord Jazz and co-produced by Garcia and acclaimed producer Kwes (known for his work with Bobby Womack, Solange, and Nerija), the album follows the release of the lead single “Pace” and a dynamic live set during the BBC’s 2020 Glastonbury Experience.
SOURCE delves into a rich, multidimensional jazz landscape, seamlessly infused with soul, afro-diasporic rhythms, and touches of dubstep.
Garcia's accolades include the Jazz FM Breakthrough Act of the Year and Sky Arts Breakthrough Act of the Year Awards in 2018, followed by the Jazz FM UK Jazz Act of the Year Award in 2019.
This is a special pre-order price offer and is planned to ship late August 2025.
Nubya Garcia isn’t an artist you can easily classify. Is it jazz? Sure, the London-born saxophonist, composer and bandleader grew up studying the genre under the noted pianist Nikki Yeoh at Camden Music. But it isn’t until you listen to albums like 2020’s Source and 2024’s Odyssey that you hear broader creativity shining through: It’s jazz, classical, dub, R&B and whatever else Garcia wants to convey. It all comes from a place of exploration and self-study, of wanting to do all the things across all disciplines while ignoring arbitrary boxes that don’t fit.
In 2022, Garcia toured the US in support of Khruangbin, performing in sold-out venues including Radio City Music Hall in New York, the Ryman in Nashville and the Met in Philadelphia. She then headlined her own tour in the UK and US, performing at various festivals including Glastonbury, Love Supreme, Pickathon and Newport Jazz.
