Nubya Garcia (b. 1991) — Tenor Saxophone, Saxophone. Led Source, Odyssey. Worked with Shabaka Hutchings, Daniel Casimir, Brandee Younger.
A tenor saxophonist at the center of London's contemporary jazz scene. Her music carries the feel of her Caribbean and African roots, exploring the intersection between dance music and jazz. Her tenor tone is fat and warm, and she plays with a physicality that makes you want to move.
