Product Description
Synopsis: Nubya Garcia, the leading saxophonist and composer in the London jazz scene, whose 2020 studio album "SOURCE" was nominated for the Mercury Prize, considered the most prestigious music award in the UK, presents her highly anticipated second album. As the title suggests, this album is an ambitious and epic journey. In a male-dominated music scene, Nubya has established a firm position and has invited talented Black female musicians such as Esperanza, Richie Saveright, and Georgia Anne Muldrow to participate in this adventure. Kwes, who produced her previous album "Source," also produced this album. Nubya speaks about the overarching themes of this project as follows: "It expresses the idea of ??truly walking your own path and trying to cast aside all the external noise of how things should be. It is also inspired by the ever-changing adventures of life and the twists and turns of living." Musically, Nubya has worked on string orchestration for the first time, rediscovered her love for composition, and meticulously studied a vast number of orchestral sounds. Her wide soundscape, which spans jazz, classical, R&B, and dub, is bigger and bolder in this noteworthy work. Bonus tracks are planned for the Japanese edition. Performances in Japan have already been confirmed for October 28th (Mon), 29th (Tue), and 30th (Wed), 2024 at Blue Note Tokyo.
