London-based saxophonist and composer, Nubya Garcia, is one of the leading forces behind the resurgence of jazz-influenced sounds in the UK.<br />
<br />
Raised in a creative environment built by a set of Caribbean parents, her brand of afro-tinged jazz has made her a key component in a string of new and established groups: from work with legendary jungle producer and toaster, Congo Natty, through to her own works as part of the Theon Cross Trio, six-piece Maisha, and the N&eacute;rija septet.<br />
<br />
Spring 2017 will see her release her first solo project via forward-thinking imprint, Jazz re:freshed. The project &mdash; which explores the common ground between progressive jazz, hip hop and soulful, groove led rhythms &mdash; is set to cement her credentials in UK music.
