Nubya Garcia - Odyssey (2024)

Nubya Garcia's Odyssey is a bold evolution from her previous work, blending jazz with orchestral arrangements, dub, R&B, and more. The album, which features collaborations with artists like Esperanza Spalding and Georgia Anne Muldrow, explores rich textures and layered compositions. Tracks like “Dawn” and “We Walk in Gold” highlight the cinematic and cosmic qualities of the album, with string sections adding depth without overwhelming the jazz foundation. Garcia continues to push boundaries, combining her saxophone mastery with wide-ranging influences, creating a journey that feels introspective and expansive at once​
