There is something very special going on in the UK jazz scene right now. Several years ago I started catching wind of various emerging talents through Gilles Peterson’s BBC radio shows and his record label Brownswood Recordings. One artist that is on an absolute tear right now is tenor saxophonist Nubya Garcia; she put out an excellent EP, “Nubya’s 5ive”, a few years ago so I was super stoked to see her put a full length out this fall. “Source” effortlessly blends dub, reggae and Caribbean rhythms into her unique sound. Listen to the album, and then watch her perform a few tracks with her backing band on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert.
