Music Jar – week 34

This week, I have mostly been listening to Nubya Garcia, the wonderful composer and saxophonist from London.

Not only had I not heard of Nubya, but listening to her music immediately made me assume her music was from the 1950s jazz scene and had been mislabelled on Spotify. In fact, she’s a musical prodigy who is younger than me and absolutely rocks the jazz flute and any number of other instruments.

To date, she has released one album and two EPs which are all exceptional, and bring together modern recording with a Coltrane sound. Overall, most excellent.

My Spotify playlist of artists for 2022 will be built up here.
